Hi welcome back to your ADBB family

Once you are pregnant you will need to move to the maintenance phase of Atkins, eating maybe something like 50-100 net carbs, mainly from the lower OWL rungs and regular smallish portions or occasional larger portions of higher rung foods.

Unless you have managed to move up the OWL rungs before that and found your CCLL/CCLM you will need to make an educated guesstimate of how many carbs to aim for by working out your metabolic resistance to weightloss from the chart in DANDR according to your 14-day induction loss.
