Welcome, 2455. You chose a good guideline to use in starting your journey. And do just that, treat it as a journey of self discovery. The first phase, Atkins Induction, is one of familiarizing yourself with carbohydrate elimination. It's most noticeable in the beginning, as you go through some things your metabolism hasn't had to experience. Stay consistent and search this forum for how to deal with any anomalies. Lots of information here to conquer those experiences in the beginning. Make sure you get enough salt, as this is one of the keys in the beginning. I love the diversity afforded by this way of eating. While you've experienced some of this before, stay the course and stay in touch with the folks and information on this forum.
