Fat Fasting? Dare I do it?

OK, being snowed in can be costly. Before the snow I weighed in at 171....now I am sitting at 176....dang gained 5 pounds. It is so hard to stay on target. I sat in and ate things I would never normally eat. Peanut Butter Balls? They would have been OK if I did not eat so many of them. If you have never had one you don't know what you are missing. Ummm really good. Valentines day oh boy I really went overboard and had Alcohol and Chocolate covered pretzels I think that is what sent me over the top. I decided to read the Atkins Revolution book again and noticed for the first time chapter 20 which talks about Fat Fasting. Now Fat Fasting is a dangerous Fast according to the book. I am so determined to do this....but should I? At what cost? I am losing sleep on this one I really want to do it. I mean I want to do it if it will do as it says it does in the book. The book says the rate of weight loss is dangerous it is too fast. Dare I do it?
