Do Atkins 40 and unprocess your diet. If done correctly you will lose those last few pounds overnight!

If OP went low carb then yes he'd most likely lose a few pounds of water weight initially. I'm assuming he wants to lose actual fat though.

You lose fat on Atkins, I am not talking about water weight.

You claimed he would lose the last few pounds overnight. Atkins or not that loss is not fat, it is water weight. Yes, you can lose fat on Atkins, but such a loss would be the result of a calorie deficit and you do not need to eat low carb or unprocessed food to achieve that.

Edited to add: Unless you're growing your own produce and killing/milking your own livestock, all the food you purchase and consume is processed in one way or another. So, one cannot simply "unprocess" their diet without eliminating most if not all foods from it.

Oh FFS I didn't literally mean over night... don't be dumb.

Yes, you have to continue the calorie deficit.

Unprocessing your diet means that you should only eat things that grow or need sunlight. It means you eat clean and stop eating things with really long ingredient lists of a bunch of crap in it, like protein bars and PROCESSED foods.

You can be overweight on a diet of unprocessed foods. You can be slender while eating things like protein bars.

Weight is related to calorie intake relative to activity, not the level of processing foods have undergone.

Yes, to be successful at Atkins 40 or ANY DIET at all, you have to have the calorie deficit and you also have to be active.

I guess I assumed the people here all use the app to count calories, achieve proper nutrition, and log exercise...
