And watch out for constipation!!!!!!!!!

You can probably expect some constipation during the shift from mostly veggies to atkins, especially if you were going heavier on cheese than you should.

LOTS of fiber (sugar-free metamucil, or even better, just mix the ground up psyllium husks with water to avoid the artificial sweetener), and if you haven't succeeded in preventing constipation, get acquainted with that embarrassing aisle in your drugstore. It's not safe to use laxatives often, but if you really need it, you should get it.

Make sure you get your full three cups of veggies (mostly salad)! You need the fiber and vitamins.
