    Another newcomer

    Another new comer here..
    I am 5' 8" and currently weigh 220. I am on my 6th day of induction. I have a friend I work with that is all about Atkins. She has lost an amazing 30lbs. in 9 weeks. I tried it once about 5 weeks ago but couldnt get past the terrible headaches I had. I gave up after 3 days. I know I have read many many threads before posting about the Atkins flu but I just couldnt do it. So on Thursday I started again. This time, I feel Great.
    I am Off the Diet Mt Dew. It has been the one staple in my diet for as long as I can remember. Now the only thing I drink is water and I drink Alot of it.... I now know or think I know my terrible headaches were caused mainly from caffeine withdrawl. Boy is my dentist going to be happy next time I go in.. LOL
    I am so glad I found this board and am going to asking alot of questions over time. So Thank you all for being here.

    Re: Another newcomer

    Hi and welcome. Yes, those caffeine withdrawal headaches can be a deal breaker. The first time I "tried" Atkins I got naseus and quit by day 3. Then I found this board and read about Induction Flu and tried it again realizing it's "normal". I lost like 14 pounds in as many days. Then 50 in 6 months. I spare people the time between then and now, but I'm back...because it was the only one that worked and I could kick myself in the butt for a mighty long time for ever leaving! The years I could have been at goal, the years I wasted. Stick with it. There's a reason Induction is refered to as Bootcamp. Once you get through that, you can make it all the way. Just don't let ANYTHING derail you. Take it from one who's sorry they did.
    Drink more water!

        No reason to suffer, take OTC pain meds if you need them, they won't mess you up. I couldnt' do Atkins if I couldn't take something for headaches.
