I think that people who have replied to you have done so with concern for your health and lack of knowledge. It is always hard on a forum to 'hear' the tone of voice that a reply is written in. Number one, no one wants to see you ill and two, no one wants to hear this way of eating misrepresented.

If you are overweight, it is great to try to lose it.

If you are trying to lose weight, do so safely and consider it to be a long term objective.

If you are trying short term, remember it may all come back with a vengeance and you could cause yourself damage.

Read about Atkins...it doesn't take long. Stick to induction of 20g carbs daily using them for fruit/veg as much as possible, drink water to keep flushed out and look after yourself.

Hoping you stay well.
