Hey,
This is my first time on Atkins, and I'm loving all the yummy food that you can eat (tonight I had a lovely juicy fillet steak with salad, mmm....). But, I have found that I've been really tired and lacking in energy since I started.
I know that this is meant to be pretty normal at first, but it's now been 10 days - do you think that this is too long to be feeling like this and maybe i'm not suited to the Atkins way of eating (I really hope not! )
Also, i don't think that i'm in ketosis (as not noticed any smelly breath / wee or got any energy) - any tips on how to change this?
I have been careful about what i eat and logging my food on myfitnesspal. With the exception of yesterday (24g carbs because I was cooking for a vegetarian in the eve so had slightly more veg than usual) I have been just under 20g carbs a day. So I was expecting to be burning fat by now! I also lost 3lb in my 1st week but have since regained one of these (i know it's naughty to weigh mid-week but the scales were just too tempting) so now I'm getting a bit concerned it's not working!!!
Any advice would be very much appreciated....
Thanks for reading! (i know it's a bit long and rambly, sorry....)
