All great advice. I would suggest upping your carb intake a little with green veggies like broc and spinach, great for antioxidants. And by all means..NIX the bars. Even the Atkins products can wreak havoc on your efforts. Check the labels for any of the sugar alcohols, and you'll start to see how the marketing giants are making fools of us! *see below for some ifo I got from here*
And water is key. Skip the fat fast...I tried it and it;s not worth it. You'll get into ketosis, but you gain all the weight back after you quit cause you're so hungry. And please please please excercise at least 30 minutes 5xs a week if you can. That;s the key!
