One month is the longest I ever did the no carb diet. Definitely works but it takes focus to not get burned out eating the same thing every day with little flexibility.

Then explain to me EXACLTY what you mean. What kind of stress does it cause to the brain and body. Please be specific. Or just be humbled and admit you are wrong, because you are.


Good Luck.

Yes, I agree. The fat is going pretty quickly but it is boring, monotonous and I just feel like shit most of the time (which is likely due to sleep deprivation more than anything else).
I hate the State.

  I haven't even considered this diet........  I was a trainer at Golds for a while and probably 75% of my clients were failed Atkins followers. 
  Honestly, I'm lazy and I love carbs.  Hope this helps.  ;D

That sounds brutal. You must have dropped a shitload of fat though? Were you extremely overweight?

Lost about 35 pound then leveled off, but I never restricted my calroies.  Got very lean and felt great. I also found it was easy, to put on muscle too. Ate mostly turkey burger, eggs cheese and red meat. I supplemented with vitamins as I always do. I would recommend eating plenty of veggies though which was something that I did not do then.
