Do you have a doctor?
Suzie,
I forgot to ask, do you have a doctor and did you consult with him/her before you started Atkins?
I'm a Type 2 diabetic, so I'm always preoccupied with my blood sugar levels. My withdrawal symptoms didn't kick in until day 3, lasted for another 2-3 days, and then disappeared. My cravings disappeared, my appetite decreased, my blood sugar levels stabilized, and I've been sweating ever since. But I *never* had body cramps or pains. And I've *always* been able to eat the requisite meals.
If your withdrawal symptoms are so bad that you feel ill and you can't eat, I would mention this to a doctor.
Atkins is a great diet, but when your body talks, *always* listen.
Good luck ... heket ...
