That is a response from someone that has not researched or knows what Atkins is all about is going to say.

I guess you need to do what is best for you.

One thing I found when I started Ketosis was I felt sick when not taking all my vitamins.

I got that from my former doctor. Weight Watchers was the only diet plan she knew of and felt that you needed the weekly meetings (and the subsequent public humiliation on the scale) to be successful. I also got "Ketosis means you are sick."

So now I carry this card in my wallet and when anyone says Atkins is bad, I whip out my card and ask, "What's so bad about these foods?" Of course I don't get an answer and am probably not that popular because of this. Too bad...if you're going to knock something at least have some facts!



p.s. I fired the WW only doctor and got a new, more enlightened one.

Can we put that on a t-shirt? IT!

I guess you could but most people would think you were insane
I see people put a donut in their mouth these days and I think "You're cracy you're actually going to eat that) I can see them think the same thing when I pull out my little box of beef and cheese.

Are you doing fine?

I had the 24-hr nausea as well. Friend of mine who started at the same time got it as well. Mine ended with no mass exit of food, hers did not. I was recently reading up on some of the really high fat diets they fed to some children for epilepsy treatment and one side effect they noticed was that some did have nausea and vomiting from the increased fat in the beginning.

When you think about it, going from decades of one energy system carbs for fuel to fat for fuel, it is a wonder that there are only a few days of ickiness.

@ Liv, most people think I’m insane anyway . The nausea comes and goes. A friend says it may be ketosis related but I have made an appointment with my doctor on Tuesday to make sure I’m not dying (unashamed hypochondriac here). I actually understand and envy those eating donuts. With patience and regularity I’ll get to where you are one day but right now I WANT A FREAKING DONUT (this is not good, not good - why am I craving a donut all of a sudden?)

@chadcs, interesting, thanks for sharing the info about epileptic children and fat diets.

Sorry I mentioned the D word - won't happen again
Glad you are going to the doctor just in case.
Not all doctors will understand the diet though. My doctor is not against it but keep telling me I should just eat sensible. I am thinking "typical advice from a person who has never been obese"
