Cream Cheese and Almonds Jumpstart

[GRAPES]

Hi...I've been reading, but have not posted before. I recently moved and do not have my book available. I seem to recall a sort of "jumpstart" sited by Dr. Atkins in which you eat cream cheese and almonds for a few days to get past a plateau. (Then again I could be dreaming...). Does anyone have this information available? I am interested for myself, but it seems it might help a few others that have been struggling as well. Thanks!

You are dreaming...sorry. Almonds are not allowed until Rung 3 of Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) and cream cheese is allowed as part of the 3-4 ounces of cheese per day.

You're probably referring to the "Fat Fast". It's not for jump starting or getting past a plateau. It's for people who are so metabolically resistant that they do not lose weight on Atkins, inspite of following it precisely.

There is a thread about it in the FAQ section of this board.

Thank You very much...I'll look there.

The only thing that "jumpstarts" ketosis is limiting carbohydrate intake and while increasing fat intake. It's the ratio of fat to carb intake that gets you into ketosis.
