Hi Dar!
I am one of those superturtles, i.e. I lose weight so very slowly that it's almost a joke, but... I am on the way down with my weight, I feel much better and this is such a healthy WOL that I wouldn't want to chnage it.
A while ago I thought I'd jumpstart my metabolism and do the fatfast. The details of that are in the Atkins book. I managed it for almost two days, but then I felt so terrible, that I just had to go off it. It was like a serious attack of very low bloodsugar, as if my verins in my whole bodu were trembling - and this when I always stay under 30 carbs a day and mostly even under 20!
You can find it somewhere in my journal. I think it's a great way for some, and others will not be able to go through with it. I will try the meat fast in the near future, maybe my body can cope with that. I am very interested in all possible reactions that you will get, thanks for asking the question!
