I've been re-reading my Atkins second edition, and I think I'm gonna try the "Fat Fast" plan he describes. You eat nothing but the equivalent of cream cheese and macadamia nuts for two days to see if you ever go into ketosis, as measured by the Ketostix. He says it is not a way to lose fat fast, but is a fast modified by fat, so I don't expect to just whoosh weight away on this. It lasts two days, or if you really, really love it, you can stay on it longer. Can't imagine more than a week of this!!!

I'd just like to see that I actually do get there! Otherwise, I'll have to accept that I am simply extremely metabolically resistant. Groannnnnnnn.........
