i keep reading and hearing all you talk about all the energy you have now that you are on Atkins. i am on day 11 and i still feel like dookie....i feel down right weird, with a constant headache and kinda dizzy-ish with an especially low energy level. when will i be able notice an improvement in my energy?

There is no "time frame". It happens differently for different people.

If you're dizzy, make sure you're drinking all your water and getting ALL your vegetables. You might want to add an additional 5 net carbs of vegetables until the dizzy-ishness passes.

And make sure you're eating enough food.

Hi!

Most people feel it by now, but everyone is different. Are you doing any type of exercise?

If not, usually exercise gives you more energy. And it is also a requirement of the Atkins WOE.

well yesterday i drank 7 cups of water (which is a great improvement for me) and i did exercise yesterday for the first time. the problem is i really want to work out, but i have had no energy to do so. hopefully this passes soon!

>>i drank 7 cups of water>>

Was that a minimum of 64 ounces?

And how much food are you eating? How many net carbs? How many net carbs of vegetables?

Are you counting NET carbs?

And MOST of your carbs should becoming from Induction vegetables, so 10 isn't really enough.

Can you list out what you ate yesterday, including quantities? And anything you drank besides water?
