Take one day and eat only meat, eggs, and cheese and you will drop. Your logic doesn't work with Atkins and depriving yourself of meat and fat makes you body refuse to turn loose of the fat. You scare the hell out of it because it thinks it's famine time. Atkins addresses this very clearly in his book and proved that high fat and meat eater actiually lost more weight than fasters. Don't sabotage yourself.
