HI!!!! Just started the Atkins diet yesterday. My husband and I are doing it together. I've cut out caffeine and surprisingly today ..with NO caffeine...I feel more clear and level headed. I can't believe the difference in how I feel already!

3 questions...

The Atkins diet states that you can eat "liberal" amounts of eggs in the first two weeks...do you count the eggs in you daily 20 carbs?

Are there any diet drinks out there that are acceptable on this plans w/o the aspartame??

Do you have to cut out alcohol completely in the first two weeks (this comes from my hubby who really wants to have a low carb beer with
dinner)
