This is an interesting thread. I've been doing Atkins for 10 months now, but got sloppy over the holidays, a couple of small cheats and began eating way too much low-carb chocolate and peanut butter. I've gained 6 pounds back and went back to induction today. I'm wondering if I'll get those Atkins flu symptoms and if I'll lose much weight over these next 2 weeks. I guess time will tell.
