Hmmmm...so much here....

How much do you add back in at a time?

By following OWL, you add in 5 grams of CHO per week from the rungs of the OWL ladder.

You will find the OWL sticky here:

I eat anywhere from 10-40 carbs a day..


It sounds like you have not determined what your CCL or CCM is. This is imperative for long term success IMO. If you don't know how much you can tolerate how do you know where to stop or....you may be able to have more CHO that is. To determine your CCL and CCM, go here:

I dunno. I like broccoli, snap peas, sugar peas, green beans, lettuce, corn, potato, carrots most.. some of those I can not eat.. and the others are what seem to triggier.. seems they are all green?!


Many of these are higher glycemic load than others. did you follow OWL and add in ONE new item, 5 gram amount, at least 3 times a week to see if it triggered a negative response or did you try to add multiple things in at random times and in random quantities?

Go here for a detailed explanation as to how to add things in and to determine if they cause a resonse.

BUT I went a month's time eating them every day, I DID WANT VEGGIES.. and I could not stop eating. I was hunger EVERY TIME after eating. and could not stop eating.

Again, sounds like you were eating multiple items with an undetermined quantity. When trying to figure out what REALLY causes triggers, go to this thread:

Is the book right, you are more hungry after you are no longer in ketosis?

I'm not sure where in the book this is stated. Many people on Atkins NEVER achieve ketosis and go on to experience the hunger reducing affects of a LC WOE and reach their goals. I can say from personal experience that ketosis or no ketosis as long as eat within my CCL/CCM and stay away from problematic foods that I deterimed from carefully following the tenets of OWL I don't have a problem with hunger except for real hunger.

As you can see from my reply, everything really does come down to the principles learned in OWL (which always seems the phase that everyone wants to rush thru). By rushing thru OWL, this does a great dis-service to you by really not identifying those problematic foods.

For me, my CCL is about 30. My CCM about 40-60. I occasionally have big ticket days--to 100, but rarely. I eat mostly protein, veg, fats, small amount of fruit in the way of berries, a small measured amount of dairy. I will occasionally partake in corn (in the form of corn tortillas--hand made) or rice (wrapped around sushi). I don't care much for legumes so that is rare to none. Starchy veg--not interested. Wheat-never.

I'm sorry that this may not be the answer that you're seeking, but to figure out what individual foods cause you issue will be a huge reward in terms of weight maintenance in the end.

Progress not perfection.
