I lost half my body weight on something like an Atkin’s Diet. ALL diets work if the calories in are less than the calories out. They all fail eventually if the cost of doing this feeling like you are starving all the time. Atkin’s Diet tends to give a person objective measures on whether what they are doing is working. If you eat crap food, processed carbs, sugars, etc...then the calories you are eating are really easily absorbed and the fat burning pathway does not happen. It takes a bit to restart it and it won’t happen while your calories are easy. Fasting will get it started but not easily. For guys it may take as much as three days. That’s why it is good to check with a doctor. Gals can have the effect start in one. But you can check with easily available strips to find out when your fast is working. After that, it only takes about a one day fast every 10 to 14 days. But the keys is not to eat the crap food at all, if you do...you will overeat.
One thing that was kind of funny when I lost the weight, EVERYONE loved the way I looked, but most everyone was trying to get me to eat crappy food, knowing my diet was working great.

I’m surrounded by health nuts whose nagging increased the cravings!
