Fat Fast - What I learned
After 4 months on Atkins Induction, never cheating, exercising every day, taking my vitamins and having the scale show only an 8 pound loss I decided it was time to wake up my metabloism with the Atkins fat fast (I got it off of the Atkins web site).
The only difficult part was not having food be an activity in my daily routine. You eat so little that the meal is nothing to look forward to and is over in no time at all. I never felt hungry but did miss planning, cooking and eating full meals every day.
The most valuable lesson I learned was that I must be overeating... probably because my family always ate huge meals and restraunts serve such huge portions that it feels normal to me. Now that I have seen I can eat a small portion (a regualr portion) and be full I have a new attitude towards meals. I lost 5 pounds in 5 days on the fat fast. I am now in the second stage (as per the Atkins web site fat fast) and will be going back to induction in 4 days.
If you have ever done a fat fast what have you learned from the experinece?
