My daughter did it back in her teens, lost 40+ pounds, and never put it back on.
Low carb - no fat diets do not work. I saw a study on that a couple years ago.
No I didnt cut out the fats. We did pure Atkins which has all the fats. I felt deprived. And I hated shopping and cooking for it. I like the fasting much better. Its just easier.
I’m glad you found what works for you! Myself, I couldn't make Atkins because I worked 10-12 hours a day and drove an hour each way. I was good at meals I could make in 20 minutes or less...
Now I've been on the cancer & chemo diet, and am working to gain some weight and increase sodium. Figures, huh?
Im sorry. Ive been on the cancer and chemo diet and its a tough one. I gained weight on it though because they pumped me full of steroids to counteract an allergic reaction to one of the drugs in my cocktail. Even though I wasnt eating. Ive had a weight problem and a hard time losing weight ever since.
Good luck And I hope the chemo works for you. Im 9 years clean now.
Thanks. I was on iv chemo in 2015, and chemo pills ever since. Metastatic breast cancer, stage 4 when found (breast tumirs were thin ribbons instead of lumps and not detected early). I told the onc I expect to live another 30 years! Everything post surgery has been small lesions that pop up then go away. I’m holding out for the nano treatments that only attack the cancer and not evefything else ;-)
