If youre interested, this is how I did it:

(1) I cut out all carbohydrates, starches, and sugars. That means, no sweets. No sweet drinks, no rice, no pasta, and no desserts.

(2) I ate greens ( kale, collards, mustards, or turnips) exclusively for at least 4 days of the week.

(3) I ate only once per day everyday except on Sundays (my most inactive day). On Sundays I fasted.

(4) On 2 days of each week I had only had fish and salad.

On Sundays I would drink green tea and perhaps have a "few" Sunflower seeds, if hunger pangs erupted.

BTW:

I now weigh 199 lbs!

Not too bad for a 5' 10" guy!
You're not eating enough and you will have a hard time to keep it up. There's no reason to eat once a day on a low carb diet. Losing 10 lbs a month on such a restricted diet isn't really that great. Almost any diet will have you losing 10 lbs a month.

You really need to up the food intake if you want to keep it off. I lost 80 lbs in 6 months on Atkins in 2003 and have kept it off. I ate all the time. I don't eat as much now bc I'm not on Atkins.
