Event #1: My 20th HS reunion. I'm comfortable with how I look now, but another ten would make me feel GREAT! (and get me out of "overweight range" completely as well as within five lbs of my final goal)

Event #2: An athletic competition where the competition uniforms are... better suited to those without love handles.

And though I'd like to lose ten lbs, I'm not sure it can be done this far into Atkins. Anybody have some Atkins-friendly ideas for losing .4 lbs / day, steadily?

Thanks!

    You could probably do the Fat Fast once a week for 3 weeks or go off atkins for a few days then go back on & back into induction for two weeks. I lost 4.5lbs doing the Fat Fast for 3 days and Tim lost 6 in 3-5 days.

    Agree with Mememiller, there have been times when I do the Fat Fast 2 days per week in a one month run, takes dedication for sure, but can be done, depends on if you can stomach the fat fast each week for 4 weeks in a row

    the Atkins Fat Fast works AWESOME!,, it never fails to result in 6-8 pounds of weight lose for me over a 3-4 day run, everytime I do it, it results in the same weight lose, its a jem in the weight lose pocket for sure

    Tim, do the pounds lost during the fast stay off? I'm really considering it.

    yes, the weight lost on the FAT FAST stay off, as long as you break the fat fast with protien, and go back to induction, eat some carbs at the end, and your put on water weight quickly, but the answer is yes they do
