Day two and will make it through

[lanmaam]

I am sitting here eating pork rinds and drinking water. It is my second day, I have a headache and want to do nothing more that run downstairs and eat bread. According to the book and to posts, I should not feel so bad on the third day. Is that the case with most folks?

You can do it! Yes, it will get better, probably by tommorow. My first or second day I say on the couch and thought for 2 hours about how I would just like to get up and go eat some cookie dough. But I didn't do it...and you won't either!! Just think...if you cheat now, you'll have to start all over and go through feeling crappy all over again.

By day 3, I was feeling really energetic with just a slight headache in the afternoon (probably from caffeine withdrawal).

Anyway, when you feel like eating, just stop in and we'll talk you through it! You can make it!!

it will depend on your metabolism and your body and what all you had to detox from my caffiene withdrawal headache lasted 3 days. hang in ther you are going to be amazed at how good you are going to feel soon.

Now are you eating those pork rinds cause you are hungry or jusdt cause you thought they were legal snack food? rememeber junk food id junk food low carb or not and we only eat wehn we are hungry not just cause it is low carb and we got room in our bellies. feed the hunger and you will be an Atkins succesful loser.

Happy low carbing.

Good Luck! I started on Friday, and weighed myself on Monday morning and I was down 4 lbs. Whooo. This thing is awesome...except, I hate the comments I get from people that know I'm on Atkins. They think it's overkill with the fats and proteins that I get.

By the way, where can I get pork rinds at?

Well, wonders, I made it through and starting day 3. I am thrilled to say that 5 pounds have made an exit!!!!

Hi lori, There are going to be many instances where carbs call to you, unfortunately, then it comes down to a mind fight so to speak. And you handled it beautifully. You knew what was happening and you came to find support and something to distract you. Perhaps you could also figure out why you wanted to eat and it might help you recognize an emotion to identify and perhaps make some alternative ideas instead of food you can deal with it with. If that makes sense.


I am sooo glad day two is over for you and your scale is showing you that your persistence and determination to get through it was worth it.

Sometimes you have to fight yourself to win in the long run. If you can win the battles, you will win the war!!!

Hi Ian, we are on exactly the same day..this is my day 3 too..and today I feel nauseous...(sp) but I'm 8lbs down already! yippeeeeeee......are you going to use ketostix? I am not showing ketones yet...which I didn't expect to this early in the game.

Pork rinds are usually by the chips, you have to search for them!!!

For me, day three is the worst--I feel like I've been swallowed up, chewed up, and spit out. Keep going though, energy and well-being is right around the corner.

Congrats on your loss!

Hi All, Made it through today so far though I think if I drink anymore water my kidneys will go on strike. I just finished half a steak and a salad and feel satisfied though my head is hurting.

I have not got the sticks yet. I tend to be obsessive and will go through a whole dang bottle in a couple of days.

I do notice I crave sugar after meals even though my stomache is full. Can anyone shed some light?
