After induction

[small2004]

After induction i know you can add 5 more carbs but are there special ones? :)
Also what about the low carb bread anyone tried or have infro about it and at this stage should I eat any bread? :baby:

This from www.atkins.com, How to Do Atkins:

During the first week on OWL, increase your daily carb intake from the 20 grams a day on Induction to 25 grams a day—going up one level. I recommend you add either another salad, half an avocado, a cup of cauliflower or six to eight stalks of asparagus or another vegetable. Continue to eat this way for the rest of the week. As long as your weight loss continues steadily, you can go up another level—to 30 grams daily—the following week. If you are a veggie lover, you may be happy continuing to add more salad greens and other vegetables. Or you may choose to add a half cup of cottage cheese, an ounce of sunflower seeds or a dozen macadamia nuts. If you've been feeling fruit deprived, now is the time to add berries, the fruits lowest on the glycemic index. (Thirteen average-size strawberries contain 5 grams of carbs.)

The book has more on the carb laddering principles.

IMHO, I'd be careful about adding LC bread. I DO however, use the LC tortillas and they don't seem to affect me.

Good luck,

If you're following the Atkins program, and have entered OWL (ongoing weight loss), the LC breads, tortillas, etc., are not until higher on the rungs - with the grains.

You begin with more vegetables, still within the acceptable foods list, and add from there.

Re-read the book, or use the links above.
