You said this was the third time you've tried Atkins. Instead of the fat fast, why not just stick to the plan. Every time you quit and restart, the weight loss is slower. Also if you have a problem sticking to Atkins, why would you stick to a plan that is far more restrictive and leaves you hungry?

I tried the fat fast once. I only made it 4 days before I was to sick to take even another day. I lost like 5 pounds, but as soon as i resumed normal induction eating, it all came back. Through normal induction eating I lost that 5 pounds again though in the next week.
