Feeling dizzy, is this normal?

Hi,
Is it normal to feel dizzy. I just started the Atkins diet and I haven;t had any sugar for three days. I am feeling very dizzy....
does anyone else feel this way???

Please help!

Normal

From what I have read and experienced this is normal. Your body is withdrawing from sugar. You should feel better in a few days. The first week is the toughest.

Make sure you are having 20g per day of carbs. Have you checked out Fitday? It is a big help in keeping track of your food etc. Also drinking lots of water is always important and should make you feel a bit better.
