  • Did my digestive system disappear?

    I'm on day 6, and I just realized that my digestive system hasn't made one complaint the whole time I've been on this diet. I'm a young, healthy, active person, but I was definitely accustomed to regular, mild indigestion. I got little stomach aches here, gassiness there, bloating, etc... I just figured it was a regular part of life. I haven't had ANY bloated feelings or stomachaches or anything uncomfortable at all in my digestive system. I'm amazed. It's like my system is just ticking along steadily and perfectly for the first time I can remember.
    I'm 26 years old, and I lost weight on this plan in 2005. I'm getting married in August and thought this would be the way to go after making little progress on other diets. I've got 20 lbs to lose for the big day!

    Good for you! Some people experience constipation, but if you drink enough water, you should be able to avoid that (for the most part).

    I have noticed that I am also very regular :yes :yikes

      That is one thing I noticed as well. I was pretty much in constant pain before this WOE. Many others I have spokento experience this relief as well.

            I used to get heartburn about three or four times a week. It would wake me up at night. I also had gas and various bathroom issues. But since starting Atkins, everything has sorted itself out nicely! And it was an almost instant difference too.

            Just one more thing for me to love about this WOE.
