I feel crummy about 3-4 days into Induction then I start to feel much better.

As for the coke...Though Dr. Atkins says no to the caffeine,I just don't know many ppl that have given up their coffee or sodas. I believe its YMMV(your mileage may vary) type thing. Some can give up the diet sodas cold turkey but others are taking it little by little. I know for me I have a diet soda occasionally cause it doesn't stall me. Good luck to you!
