Default What am I doing wrong?
permalink
I'm on day 6 of Atkins and I have 2 problems. First, I feel just awful. I've had a nonstop headache, low energy, low mood, easily irritable, bad breath, and this funky tingling sensation through my whole body. I assumed this was just my body withdrawing from carbs or getting into ketosis or whatever, but, problem #2, I have not lost any weight. I know it hasn't even been a week, but not even half a pound.

Have any of you experienced anything like this? (I know the book mentions bad breath and short-term headache, but not accompanying a lack of weight loss). Is this a sign I'm doing something wrong? Any suggestions?

For what it's worth, I'm 174 pounds with a goal weight of 140, so I wasn't expecting 20 pounds in 2 weeks or anything. But I'm really getting frustrated and thought I'd check here to see if anyone had any input? Thanks so much.
