moving from OWL to pre-maintainance
If you need to adjust your phase of Atkins, weigh in and you can change the phase then. If you want to change which diet you're doing, go to 'My Diet' under your toolbox settings.

Induction and Energy Bars
I got weak as a kitten about a week into induction, and was in the middle of training for a triathlon. I basically skipped working out until I felt better (it passed in a few days), and did a little lower than usual intesity for the other days of induction. Now I've started OWL, which slowly adds carbs back. If I had to do it again, I might have started in OWL, only because running for miles is intense, and requires you to have some glycogen stored in your muscles, which you are rapidly depleting in Induction.

As a side note, make sure you are adequately replacing your electrolytes. this is a diuretic diet, so as much as you are drinking, you're probably losing it just as fast through sweating, etc. I would maybe bring a pickle and a protein shake for after, and veggies or jerky for during. Veggies at least don't have to be refrigerated. If the bars don't stall you, I wouldn't worry about eating one a day.

Please peek at food calendar...
Looking at a few days, I'd say eat more veg, a little less fat, and a little more protein. Your macros should look more like 10%carb, 60%fat, 30%prot. It also appears that you're a little 'uninspired' by the food on Atkins. I assure you there's so much out there it's mindblowing. Look around at other sites, blogs, etc. for recipes that other real people have come up with. They will help you find variety and satisfaction of cravings, all while sticking to the plan. Good luck and good health!

PIZZA! ( ok, just the toppings) do you indulge?
After I've already replied to this once, I found a cauiflower crust pizza at someone's blog (yourlighterside dot com). It was soooo yummy! My DH said it hit the spot, and both of my kids wanted seconds! I wouldn't hesitate to make it again, plus you can eat about half a pie and it's mostly veggie Smile

I have a question about Ketosis and back pain
Make sure you're getting enough Calcium ,Magnesium, and Potassium. Supplements help for the first two, but not sure how much they help for the potassium. I eat a little avocado every day both for the fat and for the potassium. Drinking lots of water helps flush the kidneys, however, it can flush out those essential electrolytes too. there's also the chance that this is your old injuries flaring up and has nothing to do with Atkins. Go see your doctor.
