Day 7 Rotation Diet: After TOM and gaining 3-4 pounds of water from leaving ketosis, I am finally back to about 128.
Im taking a mini-break from Atkins for a change. The 600 cal days were the hardest, but I got through them knowing it lasts 3 days. I suspect I ate 700 calories each day, but thats okay..
Tomorrow, I start 1200 cal/week 2. I dont expect any huge loss..maybe 1-2 pounds that week. The following week, I can expect maybe 3 more pounds...time will tell, and Ill be reporting back!
I almost feel like Im doing the Wendie Plan..spin-off Weight Watchers and carb cycling....except my "points range" is probably 12-30..depending on the day.

I remember that diet. It is a little like the Wendy plan, but with much lower calorie intake on certain days. Good luck to you!

What is that diet exactly? Can you tell me what you do?

Its very simple. I am not following the author's meal plan suggestions, but I am following his caloric intake requirements.
You can view those when you click on "My Rotation Diet." When viewing the diet plan, you will note that I linked the Amazon book review site so you can see others' opinions of the diet.
Im currently on Week 2 which is 1200 cal for 7 days. I have kept off most of the weight I lost from ketosis. Its just a "fun" diet..a break from my low-carb journey.
The important thing is when breaking from low-carb, keep the calories controlled, or risk of gaining weight is great.
I exercise on my stationary bike 20 min/day in part b/c Im too lazy to make it 40 min/day. That being said, Im going to try to do 30 min daily this week, d/t the increased calories.

My mom has the Rotation Diet book. I've done it a few times. I think it is still a controlled carb plan. Years ago I worked out the calories of the meal plan with the allowed fruit and I came up with more calories than they said there was. My mom had a lot of success with it, but always gained the weight back. I think it's probably good for a break, though. It sounds like torture to me. ;)
