Has anyone ever gained weight on a modified Atkins Fat Fast while staying around 1100 cals? The first day, I lost 1.4 lbs, days 2 and 3 I gained 0.2 lbs each. Feel free to take a look at my log to see if there are any suggestions.

    I think there are some carbs not accounted for in your logging - that half and half creamer stuff, heavy cream etc - but not enough to make a big difference.

    Do McD do a zero carb Iced Coffee ??

    1.4 LBs is 99% water weight. You retained water the next couple of days.

    If only McD's did! Both McD's and Dunks coffees register carbs. That was an "on the road" drink, I would have preferred to make my own.

    My guess would be retained water either from waste or sodium.

    That's the diet I'm on now. (Kekwick Fat Fast) I just started Friday and I've already lost 7 pounds. Crazy! It's a great way to jump start weight loss.. but dangerous to do it too long.
