Default Just finished my second month on atkins

So far, I've lost 18.6lbs in two months. But the bulk of the loss came in my second month because I didn't follow Atkins properly during the first month: drinking diet sodas every day instead of water! Using Splenda packets which contain hidden carbs. And consuming too many carbs. By the end of the first month, and frustrated my loss was only about six lbs, I decided to do Atkins "clean" and what a difference that made!

I've been lurking the past several days and read about combining Intermittent fasting with Atkins diet. Makes a lot of sense to me and tried it yesterday( 23:1). The scale this morning shows a 1.6lb drop which indicates it's a potent combination, but I'm also a little nervous about it because I don't want to potentially hurt my health. I'll try it for a few more days and if I feel progressively weaker, I will back off.

This forum is interesting and useful. Thanks for existing.

Welocme LC for life,
You are off to a great start! Glad you found your way here.
That can be a powerful combo http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=477295 and if you are worried about any health issues, suggest you start at this thread http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=472377 and read the books, or watch all of Dr. Fung's videos/articles at DietDoctor. The IDM site is so huge now and a bit hard to navigate (it is being updated) so the DietDoctor info is better. He also addresses specific health issues in his new book on Fasting, but if you are healthy now, just not eating a few hours a day is unlikely to have any impact. I've been doing it for three years and still kicking
All the best,

I think it was the links you provided that inspired me to try IF with Atkins. Thanks for the welcome and the info!

Welcome and I echo the statement above. Take what you read with many grains of salt tho - Let you own experience by your teacher.
