Hi Mar. Personally, I would use the fat fast as a last resort. My personal observations are that most of the time, stalls are (a) inevitible and normal, (b) caused by eating something "stally", and/or (c) not getting certain nutrients that your body needs for efficient fat loss: essential fatty acids, chromium, etc. Why don't you post a day or two's worth of menus so we can have a gander? Who knows, there could be something in there that'll make us go, "a-ha."

A lot of people have success - and a little less greif - on Atkins KIS, which is simply induction minus the processed food, dairy and artificial sweeteners. It's basically plain meat, fats, eggs and veggies... not much else. A little boring, but at least you shouldn't be hungry.

BTW, I just read your intro thread again. Sorry I never got back to you. The reason you couldn't PM was that you need to have 25 posts first.

Anyway, good luck, and keep us posted.
