I'm calling this a "modified" fat fast because I don't consider myself an adherent of Atkins per se (although what I eat is darn close to his plan). Atkins lays out very strict rules for when to do a fat fast - my weight has been stagnant for 21 days which doesn't (or barely) qualifies per his rules. But I was going crazy and starting to Google all kinds of crash diets and fantasizing about cheating due to the frustration, so for me personally doing this makes sense. In other words, big disclaimer, don't try this at home...
The goal is to get 5 meals of about 200 calories each for 1000 calories a day, with 75-90% of calories coming from fat.
I'm doing it dairy free, too, because I keep wondering if that will help me lose at a more motivating pace. (And yes, I'm aware that I'd probably serve myself best at accepting to lose at a pace of a pound or two a month, but that's not going to happen right now...)
I've made a simple list of dairy-free fat fast "meals" (some call them "feedings" because they are pretty skimpy), and I spent a few minutes on Sunday weighing out macadamia nuts and making fat bombs.
My husband is out of town for the week and so I'm going to try to do 5 days of this (recommended is 3-5, and if I feel yucky I'll stop early)
Starting weight 202.4 after 21 days of weight between 203.6-201.6 (mostly at 203)
