  • Any low carbers out there? Looking for success stories of those that transitioned from LC to this. Did you stick with low carb foods or not?
    Thanks.

    Yes. I came off of Atkins onto the Fasting Diet.

    I kept some habits used on Atkins:
    – no white carbs – flour, rice, potatoes. I eat whole wheat rice and pasta just a couple times a month and have whole grain oatmeal for breakfast (along with a pumpkin muffin made with flax seed)
    – almost no bread, ever
    – still don’t drink milk
    – Net carbs are between 100-200 grams a day with the source mostly being vegetables and full fat yogurt
    – avoid sugar added foods
    – eating about 50% fat, rather than 60-70%
    – I eat at least 1/2 cup of beans each day — which adds to the carb count

    I eat less protein than Atkins recommended.

    On the fast days, I eat almost all veggies with some protein.

    Thanks for your answer. did you lose pretty quickly? Have you been successful?

    I have lost 28 lbs since Feb.

    The rate of loss was quick until the 3rd week of April (11 weeks), then slowed until I started doing 3 days of fasting on May 10.

    I have been trying to lose the last couple of pounds for the last couple of weeks. Water consumption plays a huge role in this last part.

    Thank you Amy C. for this infos
