ON the subject of fat changing its caloric output in the absence of carbs- does that mean a 1500 cal diet with 75-80 grams of fat is really only being seen by my body as 1000? Could that be what is causing some not to be successful- the "starvation" mode effect? What are some low carb snacks that will boost up the counts besides cheese and pork rinds? Also, I am on ediets, an online resource, that allows me to do the Atkins diet and still plans my menu for me- but it is keeping me at 1400-1500 calories on the induction phase- should I increase that to eliminate the chance of starvation mode? Also, the only veggies it allows me are ones that I have never heard of or wouldn't eat- any ideas? Today is day two for me and I actually lost 2 pounds of water weight overnight- this from a good digital scale that I use everyday so I know it is accurate! WooHoo
