Default Re: Is it possible to lose 20 pounds in one week?!?

Making sure we're on the same page here... are you doing Atkins? What phase of the diet are you on?

All veggies, fruits and diary one can find on planet Earth have carbs. So you are not eating zero carbs. Besides, Atkins is not a "zero carbs" way of eating. But then I'm not sure you are doing Atkins anyway... although you landed at the Atkins Diet Bulletin Board.

Try what exactly? To lose 20 lbs in a week? Scheduling your weight loss is usually ineffective. Mr. Body is hardheaded and does it his own way just to piss you off.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
