You can just suck on a rock salt I do when I get a headache... and when I am coming down off my carb high I also get to suck on one before I go to bed ... I tend to wake up with headaches in the middle of the night

To be honest you just have to play through the pain. If you carb up then you are really just prolonging it. Mine lasted like 3 weeks and I thought I was gonna die. Then I did good for like 2-3 month but Nov has been hard on me and I find myself carbing up.... like I will be low carbing it and then feel horrible and then…

I was having anxiety at night, leg cramps, restless leggs... so I started a Magniseium supplement and I am all better

I did and I still do. I started in August with Primal and really didn't lose anything until mid Oct.... overall I lost a total of nine pounds since august. So slow and steady has been me. I personally think that I have a slow metabolism and that I am still eating excess calories for my activity level. I don't excersize as…

Just a question do we not count the sugar alchol in things like vodka... I thought we had too?

This really seems like one meal maybe two... but seems kinda dangerous. You look skinny I am not so maybe that is the difference. But there is a definite lack of fat in your diet. you do need to give your body some fuel and low fat tilapia and chicken breast aint gonna cut it. Maybe you didnt count the oil/butter whatever…

I dont think its a magic pill to get into Ketosis after a fall off the wagon. I think that you have to use up the glyogen or whatever it is that you put into your body before you body will move on to fat use. I also think the how fast you get back into Ketosis is relative. If your new it could be another two weeks of…

For leg cramps, its generally a sign of magnesium deficiency. I take a supplement and I has really done wonders

your calories are an issue. you may lose weight but then it will come back with force when you are "done" dieting. because eating that few calories is not really sustainable. and I would be careful saying on MFP how few calories you are eating or the calorie police will getcha.....

I am three months into this and I think they are still there but not as much. Like they are ignorable more. I can easily walk away from bagels, pizza and cupcakes at work. I did get attacked by animal style fries at Inn n out last night... and about two weeks ago I got attacked my a pie made from fresh picked apples....…

I think you could be going through a carb withdrawl. I know I did for like 3 weeks. I was so hungery it scared me. Ugh.... I ate and ate and ate and was full but I was still hungery or empty. It does get better. I figured out I was in the low carb misery zone where I was still giving my body enough carbs to crave them and…

Thanks for your input. I will consider it all and check out the links. There is definately some things I need to work on.... like regulating my calories or just being consistent in my tracking. And I agree I need to increase my veggies.

Thanks zipper... I am working hard on my diary so that I can make it a lifetime change.

Do a google seach for PaleoZone... there is a really good article on it.... I like the high fat .... I feel better. The fat wont hurt you if your macros are correct for you... its gonna require you to figure out which way you want to go. I think if you dont want to restrict your carbs(as in veggies) then I would lower my…

I bought a trader joes himilayn rock salt... and I will suck on a rock from time to time. It cures a head right quick and it sorta makes me feel better. IDK why but it does. I will especially eat it t after sitting in the hot sun all day long at my kids soccer games and sweating up a whole mess.

First google low carb so that you can have a better understanding of the processes that your body goes through. I eat a 65% fat diet with 30 protien and 5% carbs. I dont watch my fat at all. I do think that you should watch your fat if you are going to consider eating the amount of carbs you describe. I think the way you…

Publicly is better. Not only will it help me but maybe there is someone like me going through the same thing.

I have no clue. But hopefully some one will answer soon.

Thanks for the advice. i appreciate it. I guess I agree with the calories since I dont get much excersize. When I was on WW I had to reduce my points by 2 to get any results. So if I was supposed to get 30 I could only eat 28 to see the scale move. So maybe I need to adjust my calories goals....

I think I have a really slow metablolism coupled with my completely seditary life. And it sounds like an excuse but I have three kids and work 10+ hrs a day. Excersize has been the last thing I think about. So I think I may need to move more and eat less. I am happy with the eating I dont think restrictive is bad. I dont…

I keep the boiled eggs and avacado and canned sardines and coconut oil.

So you take your Total carbs and subtract the Fiber and that should give you Net Carbs.... The Atkins bar is not counting Sugar Alcohols that may or may not affect you. I just posted a topic on sugar alcohols and from google I figured to 1. stay the hell away 2. they count. Hope this is helpful

But the diet is restrictive. I have been at it for 3 months now and I am making every effort to adjust adjust adjust so that I can be successful. I am learning new reciepes and new thing to eat all the time. and I am trying to figure out what exactly is causing my stall so that I can improve.

Hi. I am natalie....I am an Atkins/Primal gal. I have over a 100 pounds to lose and I am still learning. My journal is open. so you can read it. Good Luck

I am trying to fine tune my diet. It kinda sucks making all this effort and not seeing the scale move. And at the same time it is most likely not moving cause I not doing it right. Either by lying to myself that the sugarfree chocolate is not gonna hurt... or eating more nuts than I should.. and as great as I feel... I…

My only advice for Carb Wtihdrawl is to keep going and bite down real hard and get through it. Its like detoxing from heroine... I think..... It took me like 3 weeks

Does any one have an idea of how the sugar alchohols affect ketosis?

If you are having trouble with your calories just up the fat... more oil on your salad... more butter with your egg... coconut oil in your coffee.... etc...just add more fat.......and you should easily hit your calories... Hell my breakfast of ham/egg/cheese/spinach cooked in butter equals 500 calories roughly and then I…

I get 1700 (I am bit saying I stay there :( ) and I do a 70%Fat 25Protein and 5% carbs

I would be carefully on chicken wings. Arent they dipped in flour before being fried?
