[quote=Anonymous]If you do go low carb (and it will certainly work to make you physically smaller, not least because of the huge amount of water you'll pass as you enter ketosis), be sure to do it right and track every carb using an app like Carb Manager.

Since swift weight loss is your goal, I also recommend that you follow Atkins 1972 induction rules. You can find them online, no need to buy the book. It's MUCH more drastic than the current incarnation of Atkins, and even keto as practiced by most people. It only counts whole carbs, not net carbs (aka carbs - fiber). It also severely restricts WHAT you eat. It puts you into ketosis FAST and kills your appetite, and effectively vastly reduces your caloric intake as well (provided you don't eat five pounds of steak and butter every day).

Atkins 1972 induction really isn't a sustainable way to eat long term, but it will definitely get you the results you want. (You'll also feel like crap when the "keto flu" kicks in -- headache, heart palpitations, dizziness -- so bear in mind that you're not in danger, the "flu" WILL pass, and its cause is simply an electrolyte imbalance due to your body excreting a lot of water which is no longer necessary since your fuel is now ketones rather than glucose/glycogen. The cure for the "flu" is to get your electrolytes back in form by consuming lots of sodium, Lite Salt (which contains magnesium and potassium), or those Salt Stick capsules designed for endurance athletes. Also stock up on no-carb broth with tons of sodium to sip on.[/quote]
