Hi Baby JJ. This is only my second day on Atkins but I have been doing a lot of research. It has been brought to my attention that some people need much more in water consumption - plain water. One site recommended half your body weight daily. Example: 200 lbs. = 100 ounces (this is a correction from my original post)I started out day one with just about that amount and 3 pounds came off the first day. Give it a shot. Maybe your system is waiting for more fluid to flush itself.
