Stalls, how discouraging!
Lori,
I am pretty much a lurker, myself. However, I would like to encourage you to not think that most people here are "brusque."
They truly aren't. Don't give up on this great site, just because you ran into one of them, please..........
As for the meat fast, I think that most of us would recognize the name Doreen. On her low-carb tips page she says:
"There are several "Stall Buster" fasts that are popular and successful at jumpstarting the weight and fat-loss. They are meant to be temporary, not long term. Most popular is The Doctor's Quick Weight Loss Diet also known as "Stillman's". This is a high-protein, low-fat, almost-zero-carb program. No cheese or cream, butter fats or oils, no veggies or salads. And buckets and buckets of water. Another popular plateau breaker is Dr. Atkin's Fat Fast , which is just as it sounds. You restrict yourself to 1,000 calories per day, with 90% of those calories in the form of FAT. A third stall buster that some have found helpful is the Meat Fast . Again, it's just as it sounds, meat, meat and more meat, and not a heck of a lot else. A little fat or oil can be used to cook and dress the meat, but nothing else. And no coffee or tea. Water, water, water. "
So, you are not being removed as one of us, okay?
Let me know how it works for you. I tried the fat fast in DANDR after six weeks of no size and no weight loss, and it earned me a 2 pound whoosh, that has stayed off.
It is too soon to think I am stalled again, but the fact that I haven't lost any since the 2 lbs has me concerned. Ah, well, it came on slow, yada yada yada.....
Take care of your body, above all.
Elizabeth
