Am I doing it wrong though, should I just have done it for a day or two and then go back to Atkins or should I do it for awhile?
Can I go back to eating 20 carbs a day after this too or will I gain weight if I do?
Also what exactly does this do for you, how does it get you out of a stall, should a person lose weight after it instead of during it?

Heidi,
First I am going to appologize ahead of time if this seems a bit harsh. But I am a bit amazed.
You are following a fast that you have not researched, and have no clue on what it is suppose to offer you, nor results to expect? You have blindly read somewhere that this was the thing to do so instead of reading up on it, gave it a shot on what you thought was the way to do it without any medical supervision as well?
Did you consider the health ramifications of not providing your body with nutrients and other essential vitamins/minerals from other sources of foods? In order to what? Try to lose the weight faster than your body is willing to let go of it?
Like I said, I do appologize if this seems a bit harsh, however I would strongly advise to you and others that before you try something so radical that you first read up on it and get all the facts and everything you can about it before trying it.
While I can appriecate the frustration of being stalled (hint: I stalled for 8 solid months), I do not understand what the rush is to lose the weight faster than the body is willing to take it off. We did not gain the 60 to 100 pounds over night. It was a gradual thing, that will come off the exact same way.
