Hi Slawer,
I'm Diane and live in CT. I strated Atkins around Thanksgiving and the went throught the first two weeks.
You really do begin to feel different when you cut out all the carbs.. To tell you the truth I was a little cranky, ( but not hungry) until the first week was over..They say it the withdraw from carbs...
Best of luck to you ! I'm sure you will do great
Diane
