I tried it a couple of months ago and got no results. I couldn't do it for more than a day. I was starving the whole time.

See my post about coconut oil you might want to give it a try it was only $5 for a 14oz tub.

I only made it through half a day and felt like I was falling on my face. No energy at all. Its pretty tough. You've already lost a LOT of weight, it seems like you don't really need it.

I don't think so. For me anyways. I'm just realizing that I think I do better on low carb and low fat. Not the unlimited fat thing that atkins talks about. Although there are other hypos on here that are the exact opposite and it works for them so I dunno.

Jeeze, I've had nothing but LUCK w/ Fat Fast...it's the only thing that puts me into ketosis! I am not diagnosed w/ thyroid disease, however, and maybe that's the difference, but I have not been able to lose on any other plan.

There's a full explanation over on the Atkins site at Fat Fast There are also suggestions from Dr. Atkins on how to modify the Fat Fast for long-term use.

I usually do not take in 1000 calories...usually much more than that, but as long as my fat is over 90%, I lose. Every day. I don't tolerate stalls and plateaus... I weigh every day, and if I don't lose, I change something...usually it's because I have wandered off Fat Fast into Induction or even OWL...any extra carbs, and I start holding onto water big time! And my weight goes up.

As for being hungry, I make certain that I eat as soon as I have the first idea that I am hungry...and if I need an extra meal, I have it.

The lack of energy could be from a lack of supplements...obviously, one is not getting vitamins and minerals from cream cheese and macadamias, at least not all we require. The B-complex would be missing, and that can sap your energy rather quickly. Dr. Atkins recommends supplements while on Fat Fast.

If you should decide to do it, be sure to read ALL of the information...it's on the website, and in Dr. Atkins' books, too.

Take care.....

Talking fat fast

I have never agreed to do Atkins until last week, I have tried Lindora, eating healthy and working out but I can't lose weight.
I used to be a personal trainer and never had a weight problem until I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I am on the fat fast program and love it I have lost 8 lbs in 4 days. I am getting results I have never seen before. Try it. I was hungry the first day, that's it. I mainly eat the tuna with avocado and mayo because it is the most satisfying for me.
