Well i used to be an atkins follower and i did many low carb diets in the past from 1998 until 2006. The sad thing is that as soon as you leave low carb and eat normal again you gain the weight back.
I just started Eat stop Eat and am really getting into this whole intermitent fasting.
I just love it. As for low carb i cant even start to imagine the weight loss combined with Fast-5, hey i might even give it a try.
For me, low carb seem to lose it's effectiveness even without cheating. I recall after about 2 years into it realizing that my gut was returning even as I continued "on program".
My plan is to follow fast-5 and for those times where I am in a social situation where it's just not right to refuse food, to be as low carb as possible.
So far I am surprised how I'm not craving carbs during the 19 hours even though I eat whatever.
