Low Carb Ladybug Newsletter August 2012 About Me   Welcome to the second edition of the Low Carb Ladybug Newsletter.  This past month has been very busy...I refinanced my home, bought a new car and started back on induction.  I have set a goal to lose 25 pounds by my September birthday and will be tweaking my diet to accomplish this.  I will update my progress next month.  If you would like to know more about me, check out my Low Carb Success Story, written by Amy Dungan at Carb Smart. -Susan aka The Low Carb Ladybug  Low Carb 101-Who's ready for OWL?   So you have completed the first two week Induction period and you are trying to decide if you should move on to Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL). The main objective of OWL is to allow for additional food choices and gradually increase your carbs, while continuing to lose weight. For some people, myself included, keeping their net carbs below 20 is the only way they are able to continue to lose.  Everybody is different and only you can decide what level works for you.  Here are some links to help learn more about OWL and decide if you are ready to move on.  Atkins Diet: Phase Two - Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL)   Objectives of OWL   OWL-What Can I Eat?   OWL FAQ   Troubleshooting OWL   Low Carb Lunch Ideas Low Carb Bento Paleo Lunches for Kids Low Sugar Lunches for Kids   Low Carb Cruise 2013   This past May I was fortunate enough to attend the 5th Annual Low Carb Cuise on the Carnival Magic.  I recommend to anyone who follows a Low Carb or Primal/Paleo lifestyle join us on the 2013 cruise.    Here is a list of the tentative speakers.
