Diet.

[drydem]

Alright, so I have been on Atkins for 4 1/2 months now, and have lost significant amounts of weight. I now fit easily in pants with a 34 waist, something I haven't been able to do since high school. And we're coming to at least a pause in this diet. Next Thursday, I will begin a two day(48 hour) water, vitamin, and unsweetened juice fast. Then Saturday, I will start eating right. We will see how things go on my vacation, and I will either start up again when I get back, or I will continue just doing the healthy eating thing.

I suppose it won't be a fast food only diet in Boston then, eh?

not quite, but I won't be on the "um, I can't eat anything anywhere" diet anymore.

Why the fast?

It'll be an attempt to reverse the biofeedback technique that is the induction phase of Atkins. Instead of saying to my body "all I'm giving you is non-carbohydrate fuel", I'm telling it, okay, we're getting our fuel from carbohydrates now, start treating them as the primary source of fuel rather than expecting fats and fats.
