many questions :)
Hi! I have been on the Atkins plan for 10 months now. I have lost 67 pounds and I only have 18 more to go before I reach my goal. I love this new WOL, but for the last 10 months I didn't take one vitamin, like a total fool! My tongue turned pure black (sorry, to sound gross), so I went to my doctor. He was one of those doctors that is against the Atkins plan. He told me that it was a lack of vitamins that had turned my tongue black and basically I was just killing myself from the inside out. I'm one of those people that when I get nervous I tend to smile, he told me to go ahead and smile, that the next time I wouldn't be smiling, if I stayed on the diet....blah blah blah. Which I knew I was wrong by not taking my vitamins. He also said that the Atkins "Diet" is making my enzymes, metabolism and heart so messed up and that he didn't go to school for 14 years to know that to lose weight is to eat less and excursus. So, I went to Walmart and bought the Dr. Atkins starter kit deal with the million vitamins in it. I'm not a pill person anyway, that's why I didn't take them in the first place, but I know now how important it is to take them. So..after all that... here is my question: Has anyone here tried the Dr. Atkins starter kit or buy all the vitamins in the kit? Because I took the recommended doses:
One hour before breakfast I took:
2 Dieters Advantage
1 Accel
One hour later at breakfast I took:
1 Basic #3
1 Essential oils
1 L-Carnitine (which I bought separately)
One hour before lunch I took:
1 Accel
One hour later at Lunch I took:
1 Basic #3
One hour before dinner I took:
1 Accel
2 Diters' Advantage
One hour later at dinner I took:
1 Basic #3
1 Essential Oils
I started them today and have taken all of them and feel like I'm in another world. I feel like I'm high as a kite and that I could run a marathon. I really don't like this feeling. Will it go away or is there one certain vitamin that this is doing this to me? Or...did I not read the dosages right or something? If you did feel this way ...will it go away after my body gets used to them? Are all of these vitamins really necessary, like could I cut the dosages down or anything? Sorry for so many questions...... Thanks for any help!
