Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Any of you do Stillman's?
Hi Rebecca, we had surgery one day apart! :)
I don't do Stillman's. I've never researched it, though I was a vegan for a good part of my adult life. I do eat cheese and butter but drink soy milk or almond breeze in shakes etc.
I hope you find someone here who follows your plan because it's so great to have a pal.
Let me know how it goes as far as rapid weight loss. I'm willing to do most anything to get closer to goal before 1 year out. Right now I'm doing the Atkins 72 Induction.

I have done Stillman. If I stuck with it way back when I may never have become obese. I also cannot tolerate dairy (asthma). Its a limited treat reserved for my monthly pizza and cake day.
As a slow looser I can't comment on how rapid weight loss is by comparison. However, Stillman stresses high protein but low fat. The teen version included two glasses of skim milk daily, but all meats were trimmed of fat and no fat used in cooking.
Recently I discovered I loose better if I keep fat at 50% or more of total calories. Strict Stillman is no longer for me since I now add good fats like canola oil in a shake or extra virgin olive oil in vegetables plus I fry foods without coating.
From experience I know Stillman can work. It took me from a fat kid to a slightly overweight teen. I maintained until I started eating carbs again as an adult. My surgeon's goal and the weight maintained as a teen on Stillman are the same.
