I dropped 12 pounds in less than three weeks eating like this but ultimately couldn't stick with the minimal carb diet with my work schedule and put it back on eating carbs.
Another interesting approach to this is the Anabolic Diet by Dr. Mario D'Pasquale, same approach Monday thru Friday and then Saturday/Sunday you eat low fat, high carbs. The concept being that you're basically manipulating your bodies biochemistry to switch between fat burning and muscle building with the carb loading phase too short to turn to fat storing. It's way more complicated than that but I'm still looking for that second cup of coffee...
Were you able to keep the weight off with the low carb thing? I read in the article that Tree posted that the subjects who did this diet gained back more wt than those on other diets. However, it looked as though even after the regain, they still netted a bigger loss overall. What was your experience with the 'aftermath'?
