Hiya VGrace! Nice that you found us here at ADBB. It's a good place for support and motivation.

Your tiredness will pass in a few days. Some of us get these symptoms (tiredness, headaches etc.) which are what we call induction flu. It's when your body weans itself from the extra carbs. Soon you'll be feeling great and full of energy.

How much weight are you wanting to lose, btw?

Best wishes on your Atkins journey!

Welcome VGrace. Congratulations on your weight loss so far. It is wonderful being in control of your appetite instead of your appetite controlling you. Good luck on your weight loss journey.
