I think the biggest difference between fts and atkins is that atkins wants you to push to find your carb weight gain threshold after you lose your weight, whereas fts lets to stay on the same plan you've learned to love without a gamble. I don't care how many carbs I can possibly eat without gaining. I like eating around 20 and enjoying it.
Hi Moose!
After reaching your personal ideal weight goal, the idea is to maintain your weight.
But, if you're still losing weight eating 20 net carbs, something needs change... Your "carb limit".
At goal, you may SLOWLY add carbs to find that number that causes weight to stabilize. Then, hold it.
This is how you'll learn YOUR carb number.
As we grow older, our bodies needs will change.
Along with that, our "carb limit" could also change.
We will ALWAYS need to be mindful of our carb intake.
Otherwise, we'll end up right back where we started before FTS, or worse.
