Just finished the Atkins book. Started following the Atkins diet on Friday the 18th. It's Monday the 21st and I've dropped nearly 10 pounds already form 230-220. My goal was originally 215, but since its working so well I'm now shooting for 205. At 215 I'm going to go into phase 2 and start adding some carbs. I also added exercise every day rather then every other day. So far so good. I noticed the following:
(1) Mild headache; somthing I never get, but I'm off Caffine.
(2) Some mile pains in my joints.
