Opinions - Can you abuse Phase 1?
| Fri, 10-31-2003 - 12:27pm |
I have been seeing this come up in several posts about stalling out during TOM or stalling while adding back carbs. Some people suggest going back to phase one for a little bit or revamping the good carbs.
My question is what are ya'll thoughts on Phase one and abusing the phase? Better yet, could phase 1 be used as a crutch? I don't know what i think of this, but I am interested in hearing what everyone has to say. I have read on the Atkins board, that their induction stage can be abused and cause problems.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks! You seems to know your stuff regarding the SBD. I posed the question to see what people thought. If anyone has learned anything about me is what works for me, works for me. What works for you, workds for you. I'm not going to steer you to something else because I can't steer you to something else either. Anyhow, most of the comments on this thread are interesting to hear the different points made. I still don't know where I stand on the issue.
I can see going back to phase 1 if you went of vacation and went crazy. I could see Phase 1 if you fell off the SBD Hammock and went nutso for a week. I cannot see going back to phase 1 because of a 1 or 2 lb gain. However, a person's body works much different than mine might. I know how to combat things. I am also not a scale rider, as my weigh in days are on Fridays now because Wednesdays were kind weird for me. So, thanks for all the information and ideas. Believe me, I wasn't questioning anyone's method of madness for SDB. I was just curious.

Thanks Ria, but I'm totally still on a learning curve for now.

The way I see it is that you have to adjust for the pounds and if it means going back between Ph 1 and Ph 2 to reduce your cabs, bad fats and sugars intake than that is what you have to do. This is what our "normally" thin counterparts have been doing all along.
