Hi everyone - I just did Atkins for 12 days and lost 10 pounds. I was very fatigued and had a constant headache for the last 3 days of the 12 days and my legs were starting to feel heavy. I went off the diet for Monday and Tuesday and am starting again today because I already feel the weight coming back on. I have about 30 pounds to lose as I gained 60 pounds with my pregnancy and lost 30 and the baby just turned one year old. Are these side effects normal and do they go away.

Hopefully you checked with your doctor before starting to be sure you are healthy. What else was going on right when you noticed these problems, any extra stress, allergies, cold, sleeping changes?

Barbara,

It's possible you may have a vitamin or mineral deficiency that is getting worse with the restriction of carbs. I would DEFINATELY see your doctor before you embark on this again... we don't want you getting worse!

Your body depends on carbs for it's primary source of fuel, sugar / glucose is the fuel for the centeral nerve system.

Your body is being forced to burn the fat too fast simply because it's reluctant to use valuable protien for fuel.

Your going too crazy with the low carbs, eat some healthy carbs, brown rice, wheat etc....

Not a-lot but enough to balance your diet.

Low carb diets are "NOT" a magic cure, although they do infact work they are all too often abused.
This is due to lack of education on the subject.

No carbs 4 hrs before bed!!

I felt like I had the flu for two weeks when I began the diet... I simply think it is sugar withdrawel.

Good luck!
