This video deals the question “So when can I eat oatmeal again?” that I sometimes get. The answer is you guessed it a personal one, “it depends.” The main goals of the Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) phase is to determine two things:
* your reaction to the new foods you add back into your diet
* your Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing (CCLL)
There is also an understood goal as well by the name — that is weight loss continues to happen. Who would want to do something on a diet with 100 pounds to go if you weren’t going to eventually get to goal? Well, rest ured that the OWL phase will get you to your goal weight as well, but you will get there knowing there are no hidden pitfalls of untried foods and knowing how far you can progress up the carbohydrate ladder with no fear.
It puts Atkineer in control of their diet, and personalizes the diet even more to their taste. You add the rungs you will eventually want to try and skip those that either hinder your efforts by triggering cravings or that no longer appeal to you.
Here are the rungs:
1. Vegetables
2. Dairy
3. Nuts and Seeds
4. Berries and Melons
5. Wine and low carb liquors
6. Legumes/Beans
7. Fruits other than berries
8. Starchy Vegetables
9. Whole Grains
Rules of OWL
1. Keep protein and fat as the mainstays of your diet.
2. Increase your daily carbohydrate intake by no more than 5 grams each week.
3. Add new foods in the order listed in the carbohydrate ladder.
4. Add one new food group at a time.
5. Eat a food item no more than three times per week to start, then eat it daily.
6. Stop new foods immediately if they provoke weight gain, the return of physical symptoms lost doing Induction or increased appetite or cravings.
7. Continue doing OWL until you have five to 10 pounds left to lose from where you start premaintenance phase

In this video I deal with the question of a past Atkins follower regarding recidivism and motivation. The question was how to regain the motivation to do Atkins again when it just “makes you want to purge.”
I respond with dealing with about what motivated me. I held a couple of different images in my head — negative and positive ones. The negative ones centered on what the weight and fat meant to me — being kicked off amusement park rides or having to shop for cars with the greatest gut room. The positive ones kept varying as new opportunities kept arising – like reenlisting in the National Guard, running the Living History Farms race, or something as simple hiking with the kids.
The second half is surrounding yourself with others who know you and know your trials. They can commiserate with you, challenge you to do better, or celebrate in your successes.
Finally, internalizing the motivation rather than relying on external pressures is only way to success. External pressure will never be enough to turn down the chocolate because those motivators aren’t always around. You however always are.
