Hi willow - what you are suggesting is almost a reversal diet. Atkins talks about it...

I tried it and gained. Then when I went back on induction, I lost. Not any more than Igained however, which makes me think it was just waterweight.

Those last 5-10 pounds can be a hassle. I weighted 152 on Dec 31 2000, I hit 142, only 2 days ago, and delightfully I am still there this morning.

So that is almost 11 months to lose 10 pounds.

Check out my graph that is in my success story thread. It shows how *lack* of loss, can really be a VERRRRRRRY SLOOOOOOW loss
