Fat-Fast

And that path guarantees regain. Regain it all and the loss may as well have never happened. It's worse than that, it increases metabolic resistance to future loss. And studies have shown that yo-yo'ing is worse for your health than just staying fat. Follow the DANDR directions to find your CCLL. Less isn't more - Atkins is about right-sizing carb intake not blindly reducing it. Anyone who imagines that Atkins includes reducing veggie intake hasn't paid the slightest attention. Read Protein Power by Drs Eades and figure out your minimum protein grams per day. Dr Atkins appears to have figured folks already eat plenty so he didn't discuss protein much. Use that minimum as your target protein grams. Find some reasonable calorie guideline and use that as your target calories. Do the math and fill the rest of your calories with fat. That is very similar to what I've done. Not the CCLL bit, because I use my bg meter to determine my carbs. While my bg readings are not as good as I'd like, I've found the level of carbs that going below doesn't make it any better, and that is my carb level. Turns out for me, that's 40-50 grams/day. The protein requirements are 70-80 g/day or so via the Eades and some other reading. Having decided 1400 kilocalories per day is good for me, the rest is fat. So my diet runs around 70% fat. It *is* a high-fat diet by any definition of the word, though nowhere as extreme as a fat fast. And while the numbers look skewed, it really is a well-balanced diet. My diet is less protein than I ate on high-carb, and I suspect it's actually less fat too. Because it's primarily vegetables when measured by volume or bulk, and since veggies are so low-calorie and low-fat, the proportions are skewed towards fat. More important than finding the ideal numbers is finding how to live with them. Filling in the actual meals to be made up of foods I like, enjoy eating, enjoy preparing and can live with for the rest of my life. This makes it a *liveable* diet, not a fad. My diet is *not* for weight loss. My diet is for life and health and managing my diabetes. Weight loss is just a side effect. My diet is for... I promised my husband 50 years when we married and I still owe him 45. |
