Rick.....
I just happened to come across this today while doing some reading (yet again) in DANDR:
Quote:
When you do Atkins during the week and then cheat on the weekends, for several days after your binge, you are no longer burning fat. At most, you could be in the fat-burning state for only three days each week. In addition, you may have overstimulated your insulin response, increasing the metabolic risk factors underlying your weight problem. Remember that when you burn fat, dietary fat is also being burned. However, if you combine high carbs with high fat--the typical American diet--you can be increasing your cardiovascular risk.

My thoughts? I wouldn't do it.
