has anyone else noticed this?
 
I've been on the Atkins now for a week and its great. i feel better than i have in a long time. its the easiest diet ever to stick to. i cant get enough of king prawns and chicken fried in garlic butter. For those who miss fizzy drinks, I can heartily recommend diet tonic water, no caffeine, no carbs.

I have noticed though that my sense of smell has improved!! I was wondering if anyone else has found this?? and also I am finding that I am sleeping much more soundly as well. is this common?

also, will things work any faster if i just stay on the induction diet for longer than the two weeks?

i am greatly in debt to Dr. Atkins. He deserves a Nobel prize.

Before LC I had to blow my nose constantly. For me, wheat sensitivity is what clogs my nasal passages. If I eat anything with flour now, I immediately get a stuffy nose. But you could have sensitivity to something else.

Yep. Sleeping like a rock is one of the great benefits.

No. And you risk the threat of boredom. Please give the doc his due and read the OWL and maintenance chapters. You want to make this a way of life. With doing it quickly, you don't give yourself enough time to develop the habits and mind-set that make it a way of life. Without putting in the time, it becomes andother quick weight loss scheme.

My allergies have gone
 
My sense of smell has improved for sure because I no longer have a constantly blocked sinus.

I bought a kitten home 6 months ago and discovered that I was allergic to him. I kept the kitten and suffered the blocked nose.

I had never been allergic to any cat or animal before, so it was weird.

Now, nose is clear and Monster (my cat) and I are happily cohabitating.
