Changing phase...
I have decided to move on to the OWL phase even though I have not lost my goal weight of 15 pounds (I have only lost 9). My weight loss has been very slow. This may be due to me not sticking to the induction phase foods, cheating here and there, but I am feeling much better about myself.

I am hoping to introduce new foods into my diet in this phase whilst I can continue to work out and lose weight.

Lets see how that goes. Cheers!

I did something sort of similar... But when I decided to move on to OWL I decided that I would up my amount of carbs every other week instead of every week.

It's all about finding something sustainable that you can live with. I probably would have lost faster for awhile if I had stayed in induction longer. But I knew on induction that I couldn't eat that way forever. On OWL, I know I can eat like this forever. I'm much less tempted to cheat. So the trade off for me is slower weight loss in exchange for something I know I'll stick with. No more roller coaster/yo yo etc..

I feel the same way you feel ChrisMitch...was getting bored and especially with my slow weight loss in the last 2 weeks, I decided to move forward. Will also take the advice and not introduce too much carbs too quickly. Hopefully I continue to lose and not cheat as much...:)

Thanks a lot for your continued support.

The book says if you find yourself cheating and not satisfied then it is time to move onto another phase. If you start to gain weight then you may need to make adjustments. Good luck! I hope it goes well for you.
