howdy Christy! hope you're recovering from the hurricanes! I've only ever been through one and that was enough - I couldn't imagine 4 in 6 weeks!

The induction period of Atkins can kindof be like having the flu - you're releasing all the toxins from your body - usually that feeling is gone after the first week - some people it takes a little bit longer, but its worth it if you plow through it. Just make sure you're eating your veggies - get lots of good green veggies to eat and eat a lot of them! It helps to fight the sluggishness, as does making sure you get enough water - helps flush out the crud faster
