    Am I crazy or....

    Hi All,

    OK, am I crazy or can you actually physically feel your metabolism take off. I swear I feel like I am taking diet drugs, without the jitters, but I am not. Is it my imagination? Since I started Atkins 7 days agao, my mood is better, I am happier, I have more energy, and I am more motivated?????? My husband and son just ate plate fulls of spaghetti, but I did not. I ate chicken. That is amazing to me. I used to get so far and then it would be "Oh, just a little taste." I took some before pictures today. Ewwwwwww. I can't wait to take the after. I think I will take them in the same outfit every month. Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the kind, supporting words. I never really gave too much thought about being part of a BB, but I am finding this really helpful. Thanks again!!!

    I've felt that too... it's wonderful! and part of the Atkins package! Good job for taking pics! That's smart... I didn't start taking pictures for 6 weeks or so! Keep up the good work and make sure you keep us posted! It's so inspiring to see results!

        It's one of the best part of atkins, feeling better, more energy etc. This idea of you have to have Carbs for energy is nonsense. I ran a marathon in 2000 while doing Atkins, with no issues. My only regret is that I ever got of away from this WOE/WOL, hopefully never again.

        It feels good to feel to good, lol.

        What I know:
        1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
        2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
        3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
        4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

          Isn't it the most amazing feeling? I felt like I was emerging from a fog into a clear sunny day. Where was all that awfulness that according to the so-called experts I would have to endure with Atkins? Nowhere is where, and what's even better is that the feeling lasts!

            I know EXACTLY how you feel!!! It's weird. I used to take a nap almost everyday after work. Well, not since I started induction last week. After 7 days I dropped 9 lbs.!!

                Hi helpmedothis-
                You are not crazy! I have a very slight buzzy feeling, too. I also notice there is the taste in my mouth like I have been sucking on a penny recently. I know it is the ketones that have not been present for, uh, a bit too long. Say hello to the Atkins Glow!
