    Yipee!!

    Started my Atkins last week and I have lost 7 pounds. Feeling great. You were right the headaches did pass. Pysyllium husks were a great find. I did Atkins a few years ago and had to give up due to bad constipation. Wouldn't be able to do it if it wasnt for. So glad I have found this sight. Thanks

    Re: Yipee!!

    I used to get headaches to beat the band, several times a week, and eat Excedrin like candy. When I did Atkins the first time (I know, I know it's supposed to be for life, but I am weak) my headaches went away within two weeks and I didn't have one in over a year,...any...none. After going off plan they resumed within a few months. Since I've been back on plan I haven't had any.

    And this site is without a doubt a life saver...literally.

    Good luck.

        That's great!

        Dr. Atkins' preference for constipation was psyllium husk. And I've recently noticed Metamucil is touting the "cholesterol lowering effects" of psyllium.

          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

              But why did they have to Add Malodextrine to the ingredients?? And that's the unflavored Sugar Free version

                Where do you get pysyllium husks at? Is it in the aisle with the other fiber items?

                    In the USA, I've seen them in the health food section bulk, tricky packaging in with the fiber items, in the diet areas, and online at Netrition. (plus other online sources I'm sure)

                      Thanks I'll look for it tomorrow. If I find it how do you take it? Do you put on salads or in shakes? Definitely need something. First time low carb has ever effected me like this.
