Yes! I just tried it, and I loved it! You have a very limited menu for a few days, then you ease back into OWL style eating (or induction, whatever you are doing). It is very filling, and easy to do if you are psyched up about it. But only do it for 4 days or so. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago with sample menus and such- very helpful!!
It's hard to believe that eating such fatty foods can break a stall, but there it is!

Here it is once again! I ,personally have been on MFF for three "rounds" this summer- each round being 3 or 4 days. It works especially if you are metabolically resistant (THE ONLY FOLKS WHO Should use it!)

FF can get a little boring long term.

Go from FF to a cautious OWL regimen. (I started off doing FF and Induction but eventually moved to OWL because I wanted more choices and needed to start working at upping my carbs.) When you go off the FF, add proteins and carbs in over a few days or your weight could bounce back up.

I'll post the loooong menu below. You should only do it if you can't lose any other way, though...

*One ounce macadamia nuts or macadamia nut butter
*Two ounces cream cheese or Brie
*One ounce of tuna or chicken salad with 2 t mayo served in one quarter of an avocado
*Two devilled eggs made with 2 t mayonnaise

*Low Carb Johnnycake with butter
*Low Carb bread pudding
*Sherrielee's Low Carb pancakes, made with nut flour

Snack ideas for Modified Fat Fast

Pitt, I just read another post of yours, and I think the fat fast is definately not your answer! You should try yoga or something, to lengthen and strenghten the muscles in your stomach. If you build more muscle you burn more fat, and just try to keep an induction-style menu for a few weeks.
