Atkins OWL Phase
The second phase of the Atkins diet is called Ongoing Weight Loss or OWL. After the rapid weight loss of the 2-week Induction phase, you抣l be slowing your weight loss down just a bit. You抣l add in specific carbohydrates that will make your diet a little easier and your weight loss just a bit slower. However, you will continue to lose weight at a steady even pace with ease.
During the OWL phase you will boost your body抯 ability to burn fats. Although you抣l be adding carbohydrates slowly, you抣l still remain in the state of ketosis. You will continue to use your excess fat as fuel for your body, and the pounds and inches will continue to come off.
The OWL phase will also teach you to make better carbohydrate choices. The recipes and guidelines for OWL will increase your knowledge about nutritious food. You抣l replace the poor carbohydrate choices that you relied on in the past with new and better choices.
You抣l also learn how many carbohydrates you can consume and still lose weight. The process of the OWL phase is an experiment in what your specific body does with carbs. During the OWL phase, you抣l gradually increase your daily carb intake from the 20-gram level that you used in induction. Each week you抣l try adding another 5 grams of carbs and then take note of what happens. When weight loss slows too much, you抣l know that you抳e exceeded your personal carb limit.
OWL also prepares you for your permanent weight management program (called maintenance). The habits and practices that you develop during OWL will go a long way toward your long-term success. Treat this period of your diet as training for the real 搕est� � your post diet life.
During the OWL phase, you抣l still be getting most of your carbohydrates from vegetables (just as you do during Induction). It抯 important to continue to eat a wide variety of vegetables, as they are good for your overall health and good for maintaining intestinal health during the Atkins diet. You will be able to add more portions of vegetables, and then gradually be able to add nuts, seeds and even berries. However, the main focus of the diet will still be protein.
In a way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Induction phase is easier than any of the other phases of Atkins. The strict plan always works and always produces weight loss. As you enter the OWL phases, you抣l need to be more mindful of your carbohydrate count and keep better track of your weight. You抣l have more choice and that may lead to more temptations, which could result in a stalling of your weight loss or even weight gain.
Counting carbohydrate grams is critical in your OWL success. If you don抰 count, you will end up consuming more carbohydrates than you should. However, there are many tools available that can help you with counting. There are several handy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], portable books that will tell you the number of grams of carbohydrates in certain foods. Over time, you抣l know the 揷arb count� for your favorite foods instantly.
Counting carbs is also essential during the OWL phase because you are playing detective. You are investigating to find your personal carb count, the amount of carbohydrate grams that you can eat daily and still lose weight. During the first week of OWL, you抣l move from 20 carbohydrate grams to 25. It is recommended that you add this in the form of more vegetables, like asparagus or cauliflower. You抣l continue at the 25-gram level for a week, and then move up to 30 grams a day.
As you increase your carbohydrate gram level, watch your weight closely. If you experience too much of a slowdown, you know you抳e gone too high. You抣l find your maximum carbohydrate gram level when you stop losing weight at all. When this happens, you抣l know you抳e reached your limit. Once you discover your personal carb count,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], drop down below that number if you want to continue losing weight.
