[quote=Anonymous]Atkins, itself, no - it's too easy to make up the calories lost in carbs with lots of fat. What DOES work, and what got the baby weight off, was something even more restrictive. Low fat, low carb, low calorie, low fun. I had carbs only 3x a week: once during a "free meal" (not huge but just normal-sized), and two back to back high-carb meals (think pasta) during a "carb refeed" to keep your metabolism from going wonky. It was incredibly effective. Also known as a PSMF (protein sparing modified fast). This is what models and actors do to drop weight quickly. You get nutrients from chicken, egg whites, fish, and vegetables ONLY, then take fish oil and vitamins. You get used to it after a few days, and the rapid fat loss is extremely inspiring. Just don't do it too long without taking a few weeks off the diet. A couple months max.[/quote]
