Hi,

According to Dr. A in DANDR, the fat fast is a technique only for those who do not lose weight on the ordinary LC diet. I am one of those kind of people. Fat fasts are what take the weight off me, and after that, remaining on induction keeps my weight stable. Whether or not I will ever be able to increase carbs for maintenance is something I'll just have to wait and see.

I do observe that as I am progressing on my weight loss in this way, the amount I am losing in each fat fast is slowly decreasing. In one sense, I am not surprised at this. I notice that everyone around here -- not just the Fat Fasters -- experiences a decline in the rate of weight loss as they approach their target weight. Makes me wonder, sometimes, if our bodies don't have their own ideas about what they're supposed to weigh!

At any rate, if you are losing weight anyway, even slowly, I don't know that a Fat Fast is the right thing to try.
