    the fat fast is something that atkins invented way back in his first book, and its way back in the back of the book, most people dont know about it because they never read that far, its something he invented to get people off of paltues and off of stalls, it works tremendously, its a diet consiting of 90-percent fat and 10 percent protien for 3 - 5 days, no longer than that, and with a usual calorie limit of 1200 ,, here is a good short web page on it http://www.carbsmart.com/fatfast.html

    I'm on day 1, so I'm almost through my first day. I'm starting with 3 days, maybe 4? I'll post my daily progress as I find it out. I fell off the wagon this weekend, so I need to make up for it. Prior to that I was staying at the same two pound weight loss, like a yo-yo...up 2lbs, down 2lbs etc so I'm hoping this helps the plateau.

    Mrs. Lean, i posted a mock menu of what I'm eating last week.

    After day two I'm down a total of 2.5lbs. Lost 1lb the first day. 1.5lbs the second day so i can't wait to see what I lose next. I really needed this weightloss boost.

    Going off of the Fat Fast today, after 4 days and 6 pounds lost I am very happy with the results, but enough of that crappy feeling i was having yesterday, I think its my bodies way of saying enough, so Bacon and Eggs this morning never tasted SO GOOD!!

    I finished my 3 day fast and lost 4.5lbs. I did have a bad weekend so the fat fast helped me recovery from that. :)

    I am definitely saving that link for when I stall. I have restarted Atkins, the first time around I lost 75 lbs, and amazingly I didn't gain weight while off of it, I actually lost a couple more pounds. And I was off of the diet for almost 5 months (I quit smoking 5 months ago and I probably couldn't have done both at the same time without killing someone). But 5 months later, smoke free, and didn't gain weight, I have actually held onto the lessons I learned in Atkins and I listen to my body. But I have a lot further to go to meet my goal!

    And of course I didn't know about this wonderful site the first time around! Hopefully this will keep me extremely motivated :)

    Great that you stopped smoking, I know one of the keys to m y success this time around is I quit drinking booze, after 7 months of not drinking I feel so awesome!
