Just started Atkins 2 days ago. Know it works because I did it back in the 70's. Man, I'm getting old! This looks like a helpful forum, I came across it by googling "Atkins diarrhea" that I'm having some problems with.

welcome GEB,
There are quite a few of us who did Atkins back in the 70s, and we all wonder now why we stopped and didn't learn to make LCHF our lifestyle, but hey, we're still here and have a second chance. Although more returning posters have the opposite problem, your body is going though a huge change switching its energy source from carbs to fats. Dr Eades has some great tips for re-starters.

Do you include LC products like Atkins bars or sugar-free candy? Sugar alcohols are notoriously known for that reaction. Get enough salt and stick to real foods.

Look around all the various sub-forums here for good information. All the best,

Amen to that Janet, about doing Atkins in the 70s and not making it a life-long commitment... oh well can't hit redo on that one... only move forward and make better choices now...anywho...

Hello and Welcome to the best LC WOE site on the planet, IMHO, GEB. Many helpful and experienced LCers with lots of years being successful maintaining their weight loss...

If you have any questions, ask and someone will have an answer!

Onward and ↓ DOWNWARD!

Jo
