I went on Atkins Fat Fast after I lost only 2.6 pounds my first 3 1/2 weeks on Induction and was starting to lose motivation. Psychologically, I needed to lose at least five pounds in order to believe that this WOE was going to work.

I did 5-6 days on the 1000 calorie version, and one week on the 1200 calorie version (Modified Fat Fast). Over the two weeks, I lost six pounds, enough to motivate me to continue, so I went back to Induction...which now seems luxurious in comparison!.

I've still only lost a total of 8.6 pounds in seven weeks, which isn't much compared to some stories I've heard, but I've broken through my psychological barrier and I'm totally motivated again.

Plus, Induction seems like a piece of [sugar-free] cake after two weeks of Fat Fasting!

Also, the Fat Fasts helped wean me off of Atkins bars & shakes, which I think were slowing me down.
