Moving to the Next Level

[Shantony]

I was reading '72 and I found this very interesting. Dr. Atkins was talking about knowing when to move to the next level or Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) on page 144.

Here are the questions if you do not have the book yet.

1. Are your Keto stix still turning purple?

2. Am I still "un-hungry"?

3. Have I stopped eating at night?

4. Do I have more energy?

5. Am I still losing weight or inches nicely?

(*Remember your tape measure is a better friend than your scale. Not only more accurate, but better able to report on the actual fat (not just temporary water) losses this diet achieves.)

If you have answered yes to all these questions then you can up your carb intake by 5 to 8 grams per day for a week and then evaluate the results.

Past patients of Dr. Atkins said it was easier to add a half of cup of cottage cheese for a week but you can use any other low carb food as long as you count it.
