Thanks for the replies!

A meat fast does exist. I got the following excerpt from the website http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/beginners.html

If you want to take a "kick-start" step, I recommend the "Meat Fast." It's easier to do than Atkins' "Fat Fast" and seems to work just as well. For 3-5 days, eat nothing but Meat! You can have any red meat, fish or fowl with no breading or sauces and minimal seasonings. Fry in olive oil or clarified butter, or roast or bake them. No dairy, no cheese, no veggies. You can have up to 2 eggs per day and drink lots and lots and lots of water. But no soda, no tea, no coffee, no low-carb specialty products. You can have mayonnaise and mustard.

You can make this more palatable this way: Before starting the diet, make up a variety of meats to have on hand as you need them:

Roast a turkey breast and have it sliced and ready in the fridge.


Ditto for a pork roast, and/or a beef roast.


Make a batch of deviled eggs
(Remember you can have up to 2 per day.)


Have chicken and tuna salad ready. Maybe crab salad.


Fry some bacon slices to snack on.


Make up some fried chicken wings to grab from the fridge.
(These can be breaded in crushed pork rinds, lightly seasoned,
and fried in olive oil.)

If you keep a variety of meats ready to go, you won't feel like you're eating just one thing day after day and the 3 days or so go by rather quickly. I have almost always seen a stall break by doing this.


What do you guyz think?
