a good friend of mine did Atkin's a couple years ago and had to stop because she felt very depressed and unhappy while on the diet. She had very bad mood swings- almost like she was PMS'ing all the time!! (her words not mine!) As soon as she stopped the diet, she was back to her same ol' self. I hear on this board that the diet effects people differently. Maybe this is how it effects you? Hopefully, you can talk to your DR and maybe he'll have suggestions for you...

Good luck!
