"Atkins Flu" SUCKS
So I woke up this morning with a splitting headache. It is Day 3 of Induction on Atkins and my body is FIGHTING to get more carbs and sugar. The mild headache started yesterday afternoon, but it is really BAD today. I don't feel like doing anything. Any home remedies that won't bust my diet?

Knee Strain
So I have a bad knee from a trampoline incident when I was a teenager. Any suggestions on how keep it from popping all over the place during exercise.

Depression a result of diet change?
So I noticed two things today: 1. My fingernails look super strong and healthier than ever. Surprised me a lot since I haven't had any milk in a couple weeks. Have had plenty of cheese though. 2. I'm feeling a little depressed today. Actually it started probably about Saturday. My husband is deployed, so of course I go…

So now, I have to figure out what to bring to this meeting that I can just go and pick up from the store without going home to cook. Does…

Balancing my calories
So...funny story. A week ago I posted about how I never have enough calories and I'm hungry all the time. Not so much anymore. I'm eating about 6 times a day (3 meals / 3 snacks). I'm not using enough calories. Usually I have between 200-300 left over. That leaves me at under 1000 calories a day. NOT GOOD! I'm not hungry,…

Atkins Recipes

I'm still in induction (1st phase of Atkins) and can have very minimal carbs mostly needing to come from veggies. Most of the recipes I've found include SALMON! I love salmon, but oh my it's starting to get…

Fiber Options
So I recently cut down on my carbs, and I'm finding it difficult to find good fiber-rich foods without my cereals and breads. Sure I get a little bit in veggies and other foods, but I'd really like to find a good go-to low / no carb fiber food, so I don't have to take more supplements. Any suggestions?

I <3 My Calories
I see so many people on here talk about how hard it is to eat all of their calories. I'm brand new at this, but I feel like I'm ALWAYS hungry and waiting to eat again. I'm trying to keep the carbs low, but not completely omitting them from my diet. But nothing seems to fill me up. Could this be my body fighting the…
