I've decided to try Atkins and go the whole way with the induction phase etc. I've researched it and I think I know what I'm doing.

Any success stories or words of support welcome

I just restarted yesterday. Join and read the thread above there's lots of advice and support.

Is the first time you have done lowcarb? If so be prepared to feel terrible for a few days around about day 2 or 3. It doesn't happen to everyone but you may feel really tired, headache etc. It's called Atkins Flu. Just rest as much as you can and drink lots of water and you will get through it.

Also eat as much as you want within your 20g carb allowance. Have faith and whatever you do dont try and count how many calories you are eating.
