I'm so ready to go up the rungs on atkins. Meat, green lettuce and cream is getting pretty old but I'm impressed I managed to stay on it for 5 days. Wednesday I go up 8 carbs for one week. that means some tomato or onion with dinner, or some soft cheese, or 1/4 c nuts. Atkins did not do the net carb thing back then.
I'm down 6 pounds. More importantly the pain in my foot is minimal now and I am not overly hungry still. Just food boredom but that will get better. The kids are amazed I am walking without a limp.
When I stop losing for the week, that week is my carb limit. so you stay at that point until the loss starts again, then you add a little again.
When I'm working out I know my CCL is around 50 or so. But I'm still just wanting to do it by the book. It's a project.
