I started maintenance about a month ago and I'm still losing is that normal? I'm thinking maybe it's like carb cycling. The only thing I hav'nt added is grains and don't think I ever will...I guess will see what happens with the holidays.

Maybe you set your goal a little bit too high? I got down to 185 when I started on maintenance, but didn't feel very good about it so I added a few more complex carbs to bring up the weight. 3 and a half years now, and I am very comfortable with my weight.

What carbs did you add?

Your plan is stated as 'Adkins', which I presume is actually Atkins? If so, during Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL), you should have found your carbohydrate threshold, known as your Carbohydrate Level for Losing (CLL) and progressed through the carb ladder. Now you need to test your carb tolerance and find your Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium (ACE). In other words, find the carb level where you no longer lose or put weight on, but where you stay within a 5lb range of your goal weight.

Whole wheat pasta, whole what bread, and wild rice in small amounts. I found I could get away with an occasional high carb treat, but I don't do it often. I am one of the lucky people.
