Fat Fast
Hi there,
Has anyone tried the Fat Fast? If sp, how much did you lose? What did you eat and how long did you stay on it?

Re: Fat Fast
Not at all. I'm just curious as to how others have done on it. In the book, Atkins says it difficult....Originally posted by Georgiana View PostComment

Re: Fat Fast
Its worse that difficult, I have never tried it but others have and they last about 2 days before they give it up. Its dangerous and really unhealthy, Its like eating fat all day, every day and thats pretty bad.

Was so sick with ZERO energy...

Never again!!!!! lol♥Started Atkins on December 8th, 2005

Re: Fat Fast
JoanOhio did it and her post about it and what happened afterwards should be a stickie somewhere on here. She regained everything she lost doing it and had issues staying on plan afterwards.
just think 5 one ounce blocks of cream cheese that is all you get. that is why Dr Atkins changed his mind about the fat fast. if you read his pre 2002 book and website it was recommended as a stall breaking technique but in the 2002 book it was changed to for only the metabolic resistant folk. those who lost doing induction by the book with the mandatory exercise less then 2 pounds if they had 20 pounds to lose and less then 4 pounds if they had 50 pounds to lose. According to Dr Atkins less then 5% of those trying his plan will have that issue eating his plan following the rules.by the book atkinseer

Re: Fat Fast
Fat Fast is to be avoided like the plague imho... at least for most. It's only for the severely metabolically resistant to weight loss. Most of the people I've seen who've done it end up regaining the weight lost and more so. Then they have trouble slipping back into Atkins proper.Before and after:
