Phase Two of the Atkins Diet.Ongoing Weight Loss.
If you are starting ongoing weight loss, I know that you've succeeded doing induction.Congratulations on reaching the first stage of your goal !Owl is where you'll start tailoring Atkins to fit you special tastes;it's what makes Atkins so unique and a pleasure.
Although more lenient than induction, Ongoing Weight Loss will continue to reveal the wonders of dissolving fat. Expect a gradual decrease in the rate at which the pounds and inches drop off.This is a delibrate part of the plan.I have to repeat one thing: allowing a few more carbs in at this phase is not a license to return to your old habits of dining on foods full of sugar, white flour and other junk carbs.The quality of the carb foods you eat continues to be as important as the quantity.
Make your goal specific.
You have set a goal, and that's great! But make sure your goal is specific.Planning to lose 35 pounds, for example, is far better than planning to lose some weight, but you probably won't lose thhe full 35 unless you hold it in your mind as the destination of your journey.
Visualize.
In other words, once you.Ve said you are going to lose 35 lbs, go even further and visualize how your body is going to look, what new clothes you are going to be able to wear, keep in your mind how great you are going to feel and look.
