What foods can I add now? I am nervous about adding anything really. I ate the same ol thing for breakfast and lunch.... Help someone before supper time.

Hi Bamalady!

I copied this from the Atkins website: www.atkinscenter.com
There's quite a bit of information there on how to continue in the ongoing weight loss (OWL) phase if you have the time to click the link and go read it, but here's the basic information I copied for you:

"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.)"

So...add some more veggies or small amounts of berries and you're on your way! :thup:
