Fat blockers and Atkins are incompatible in my opinion. Atkins works because it is a high fat diet. The more fat consumed, percentage wise, encourages your body to burn fat.

A fat blocker is designed for those poor people that have to follow a low fat diet. The mistaken belief is that fat causes you to be fat with no science to back it up. People who low fat, also have to low calorie. They believe that because we are told that fat has 9 calories therefore to low fat thinkers cut the fat and you cut the calories.

Low carbing is a science unto itself. Low carb levels keeps your insulin production in check. No fat is stored without the hormone insulin.

To lose only a few pounds in a month when you have a great deal to lose may mean that you are doing Atkins incorrectly or that you are metabolically resistant.

You could always post your menu to get it checked out.


Good luck,
