I have tried to do Atkins induction over and over ( and lose a few pounds everytime), but end up quitting because of the tremendous water loss, huge thirst (drinking 4L or more a day) and heart palpitations, I guess from the electrolyte imbalance irritating a minor heart problem.

My dr. suggested the zone diet and all the symptoms immediately disappeared and I feel fantastic. But is eating 100carbs a day lowcarb? It is described as putting your body on a fat burning pathway, can that be true while eating so many carbs?

Also, now my evil sugar cravings are back, how do you all deal with that?

I'm so looking forward to going to the gym and seeing if the extra carbs are going to make my workout a little more energetic.
