September 28

194.8 - not a bad week. Home to family over the weekend. Hope I can keep up the good work.

September 24

196.4. Weekend over.

Day 16

197.6. Weekend coming up.

Day 15

Pleasant surprise - down to 198.0. I know I shouldn't be weighing myself everyday, but this fat fast diet is very effective at getting consistent results.

Day 14

Weight 198.8. Not bad for the weekend! I'm now walking 2-3 miles a day.

Next Day

Weight 199.4. Entering the treacherous weekend. I hope to at least maintain and perhaps lower this weight. Still not eating much - basically olive oil during the day and a chop at night. Still not terribly hungry. Ketostix indicate I'm in ketosis.

Day 10

Nice intermediate success - under 200. Weight 199.8

Day 9

Weight 201.

Day 8

Weight 200.6.

Day 7

Weekend passed and I didn't gain anything - still at 201.4! This is good, because I had salty food (fatty salami) as by fat intake. Never again.

Day 4

Weight 201.4. I'm not exercising yet, but will begin walking seriously next week.

Day 3

Weight 202.2 - Ketosis starting to kick in. The nice thing about Atkins is you know when you are in the Atkins Zone. When the Ketosis starts, your hunger level goes down. So today I have had a lettuce salad with about 1 Tbl of Olive Oil - no hunger through the day. Night time meal will be a small pork chop.

Second Day

Weighed in at 205.2. I feel a bit spacey (same thing happened with the last Atkins diet I was on). It normally passes after the first week.

First Diet Day

Having successful experience losing weight on Atkins, I'm off to try it again (I'm not so good on maintenance). Being male and 60 makes this more challenging, so I'm starting off with the fat fast.

Day 1: Weight 204.8. Just fat for the day - I actually like to eat Olive Oil straight. So 5 meals at about 1.5 TBL/meal is about 1000 calories. Drinking plenty of water and using Psyllium husk for avoiding constipation. Comments and support welcome. Looking to loose at least 35 pounds.
