KnitWhit's Journal, 07 August 2011

Well this is frustrating. I tried the first week of OWL, added some almonds and a little peanut butter. Had strawberries twice, got my TOM on Thurs., and overall I've gained two pounds. I'm still in ketosis, I can smell it on my breath. I haven't been cheating or shorting what I put in the food diary. I rarely eat more than 1500 calories, and I believe my macros are the right balance. I'm sincerely hoping it's just water from TOM, but I usually gain that before, not during.

We're taking a day trip today, so I'm not sure what I'll eat besides my snacks, but I have a feeling willpower is going to be low because of all of the aforementioned.
205.0 lb Lost so far: 9.0 lb.    Still to go: 30.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Comments 
If you have the book, or if you can hop over to atkins.com (free) - take a few minutes to review and read up on transitioning to OWL. To start with you should be adding additional veggies for the first two weeks. Then as you progress you add ONE item of 5g's per week. Just one, so you can see what your body's response is to that item. Clearly you don't know if this is the foods, water weight from TOM, or something else... I would start OWL over again.
