Personally, I'm really leery of these carb-cheat things. From what I've seen the people who do well on it are hugely athletic and not very far from their goal weight, and men seem to do much better than women. In the materials from the site I saw several references to older (middle aged) women spending the whole low carb cycle losing the weight they gain from the carb nite, for months and months... Doesn't make sense to me, but then again, I'm a middle aged woman who is not athletic.

Several people are doing meat and egg fasts right now, and it did a fat fast last week - but still my first advice is always a food journal, a back-to-basics approach, and patience. (Not very sexy, but usually it works!)
