I try to eat Paleo style which is heavy fat, moderate protein, and limited carbs and I can drop 5-6 pounds easily in a week with minimal exercise.
I know your thinking Atkins, but you can give yourself up to about 100 grams of carbs of a day and still lose weight.
It's all about keeping insulin low, and eating fat to get the body burning fat.
Sounds crazy huh.
I've read two good books on it and they've been an eye opener.
Why we get fat and what to do about it - Gary Taubes. (Real sciencey)
The Primal Blueprint - Mark Sisson.
I will also recommend watching Fathead on Netflix too.
Anybody else heard of this, or had success with Paleo?
