2 Questions

I have just spent several days reading all the great HOT LINKs in the newbie section. I have 2 questions though.

1. What is Atkins KISS? When I clicked the link on the page they were gone.

2. What is a FAT FAST?

Thanks for all the help so far with my newbie questions.

I know that KISS is an abbreviation for 'keep it short and simple' (or, 'keep it simple stupid'

) - so just the bare bones of the Atkins program. Also, I've heard of the fat fast program, but am unable to hunt down any further info for you at this time.

HTH,

Fat fast is a special very high fat low calorie version of atkins for people who have extreme metabolic resistance and can't lose on induction. From your stats you seem to be losing OK so you can happliy forget it!

Good luck,
Robert

One thing the Fat Fast is NOT: it is NOT a fast way to lose fat.

It is only a way to get into ketosis IF you can't get there by just following the Induction List. You really don't lose much and some people have even regained some after the 4 days was done. So don't worry about it. And it is in all the editions of DANDR.

KISS can also mean: Keep It Simple, Sweetie (for your friends).
