Hi-everyone! I'm so excited to have found this website. :wave:
This is the second full day of Atkins for me...doing well except for the headaches! I'm guessing caffeine withdrawl. Anyone have any tips to share?

Caffeine withdrawal is the pits. Take a pain killer, and you'll be all right.

I've just started induction today--a refresher for the new year. Since I've been on maintenance for months, my carb level is quite low, and I don't have to deal with the "start-up" issues. Re-induction is as much for my head as for my metabolism, y'know?

Best wishes!

bkloots-
Thanks so much. Just took some Alieve-hopefully will do the trick! My dad has done Atkins and lost alot of weight-around 75pds. He said after the 2nd day he felt a lot better. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi Jenn,
Welcome.
This is a great place to hang out.
You get lots of help and support.
I agree with your dad, after I got through the second day, I felt much better.
Good Luck~
