fat fast day 2 today, I had butter for breakfast,, lol, yesterday I was grumpy, i get that way on the fat fast, i just hope the scale fly's downward,, keep it up, home streech! streach? lol

Great to see everyone checking in, I had a flat line week on the scale,, GRRR, so starting tommorow I am going on Atkins fat fast,, ( OH JOY!! NOT!),, its no fun but it sure works, so I will endure butter , egg yolks and mayo for 3-5 days, but I expect to loss a good 8 pounds this week, ,, keeping my fingers crossed I can…

I am now down 65 pounds in just over 3 months on Atkins, low carb, I have not counted a single calorie, just carb grams, like he says in his book,, smile

Eddie is so RIGHT ON, well said, that bad feeling goes away, and whats on the other side feels SO GOOD!!!,, your energy level goes thru the roof, and the weight drops off, your craving s for the carbs you miss fade away with time, it to me is a life saver and life changing way to eat,, I am never going back to the old carb…

that is exactly right, its those foods that got us into the trouble we are in now, learn to just do without them all together, eat when your hungry, just eat what is allowed on atkins, and you will drop weight, and feel great, without starving yourself to get there

Atkins himself says in his original books that the Keto strips are only tools for you to use , but he also says they are NOT neccesary nor need to be used, they are only there if you want to see it. with that said I have to tell you, that when my wife does atkins, she has a terrible time getting those strips to change…

I personally have not read the brand new atkins book, ( written by his co worker doctor after his death),, she allows the net carbs on induction phase, but Atkins himself did not allow it during the 2 week induction phase,, I personally dont eat any of that stuff while induction,, you can during the OWL phase, if your…

i wouldnt eat them back myself, the goal of the FF is that rapid wieght loss or the busting off a platue, Atkins never recommendd it, but only as a last resort,

pricey pancake but wow does it look good, !!

never eat past being full, just keep smiling and being happy as you lose weight

Jess, every meal around my house is a double fix afair, I made home made biscuits and gravy for the others, and I had scrambled eggs with ham, tonight they all had hamburgers on toasted sourdough, I had hamburger patties on lettuce, I watch everyone else eat all the foods I cant anymore,, but I want YOU ALL TO KNOW!@!!<<…

Nalita, just start again, many of us often have a "treat meal", so count that as yours, and get back on the wagon!!, you can do it,

nope dont count calories, I have lost 65 pounds in a little over 3 months and have not counted a single calorie yet. I often laugh because I know if i did count the calories I was eating on Atkins the weight loss would seem impossible ( the calories are high), but atkins used to refer to this as the metobolic advantage

I am down 65 pounds in just over 3 months, i have NEVER counted a single calorie, but I also stay on induction phase and keep my carbs under 20 per day , the newest atkins book promotes vegies and they do the net carbs idea's. I personally see nothing wrong with net carbs just so long as the scale moves downward for you,…

my fav FF recipie is egg yolk and mayo,,

i lost 3 pounds this week, i wanted more, but ill take it, I may have to fat fast if i am going to make my goal by sept 1st, good to have more people on board, lots of time still

also make sure your not using those "sugar alcohols" they are sneaky and will keep you out of ketosis, Also atkins said some people are super carb sensative, and if your using the "NET CARB" plan I would drop that for a week, no vegies at all,, just your meat fat and eggs, I bet you go deep into KETO and your hunger goes…

I do a variety of foods on the fat fast,, here is a wonderful web page FULL or recipies, of course they are easy and are small, thats what makes it easy, but if you did the Fat Fast you will drop weight FAST, i generally lose around 7-8 pounds on the fat fast,, here is the web site http://www.carbsmart.com/fatfast.html

sorry for the multiple replies,, I read a long time ago in the peoples pharmacy that if you have leg cramps to eat a small amount of mustard, ( yes simple green mustard), anytime i get a leg cramp, especailly at night, swirl a little mustard around in your mouth and swallow it, the cramps are usually gone by the time you…

check this chart, BOAT LOADS of potassium in these Atkins allowed foods http://www.nwkidney.org/nutrition/potassiumsodiummeat.htm

plenty of potassium in meat Salmon 3 ounces of baked or broiled salmon contain 319 mg of potassium. Salmon is a heart healthy fish with a decent amount of potassium. Cooked Lean Beef 3 ounces has 224 mg of potassium. Lean beef is the best red meat choice, and in addition to the potassium benefits, is a great source of…

crack is illegal, maybe bad food should be also?,, apple to apple here?

I would be happy to give it a watch, thanks for posting, I personallly low carb, so all the processed junk it out of my life, I feel so much better now

Love this, it reminds me of the Ole Atkins Fat Fast recipies

friend req sent

a low carb chef I know named George Stella has some pizza recipies that wont throw you out of ketosis, he makes the crust with soy flour ,, here is his web site http://www.stellastyle.com/

how many pieces do you cut this into?

back from the coast, looking for more Keto friends , lets lose some weight

Nalita is dropping weight fast, I got home from my beach trip, now I have 15 days ahead of me with no road blocks, time to crank up the Ketosis, and induction and kick some pounds to the curb, lets do this peeps

i generally have a ONE carb meal per week, but only IF the scale moved that week, that one meal seems to keep the weight moving, and breaks up the boring long term atkins blues, maybe for me the one meal is helping to prevent a "stall" in the weight loss, but I want you to know that atkins himself has a few idea for…
