I am doing OK, I am easing back into low carb - I didn't do strict induction. I guess you can say I started at OWL. But I am not eating bacon. I feel less bloated after over a week of this, and I know it gets measurements down faster than weight loss. My aunt said it's unhealthy, I told her severe diabetics (I am not diabetic) are basically doing Atkins OWL but doctors fail to state that - even on TV because there's a stigma with Atkins that is is a fad or phase diet and not healthy. Sure one can overdo it with bacon cheeseburgers, but for me that isn't a healthy way to eat all the time. I am doing under 100 gms of carbs a day and my appetite has decreased and the snacking too much between meals has stopped. The arthritis I have had prevented me from exercising for nearly two weeks now, so I have to find another way to lose and low carb works especially if one can't get lots of exercise in.
