This sounds totally Atkins, except they usually start at 20 total carbs for the first couple of weeks (Induction) and then begin adding 5 carbs per week until weight loss stops. That determines your CLL (Carbohydrate Level for Losing), and you need to stay under that.
Good luck! We're all different, and it takes some experimentation to find out what works best for YOU. |
