I'm not a doctor tho, but i'm doing this for life.

The best thing about this is never hungry between meals, and 0 cravings

I wouldn't call it garbage or ****, just not what is perscribed for the Atkins diet. But that's my question. If I only do it for two weeks and then go back to my low portioning/lower fat content diet, will it reverse the effects of the two weeks on the Atkins?

Andy, I think you'd just get lots of extra fat from the meats that will get stored as fat because your body is running on the carbs you take in.
Meaning you'd put on mass and gain weight.
At least that's how I understand it.
You have to eliminate carbs, or severely restrict them for your body to start using your fat stores, then you can run on that for a long time.
That's a wildly pared down explanation of what Atkins does.
