I Just started induction on 1-26-04 and both days I have been very irritable. Is this just me or has anyone else experienced this? Help.

Never had that problem but of course I am still drinking my 2-3 cups of half decaf coffee - otherwise I would problably be in jail now!

Do you put any kind of cream in your coffee?

Nope I have always drank it black and strong - before I would drink at least 10 cups a day of Columbian, now that I have gone to 1/2 decaf I sometimes don't even drink the total of 3 cups, I am now satisfied with less! Also putting cream in yours will help to bump up your fat percentages! just don't quit cold turkey!

Hi!
This too will pass, could just be carb withdrawal! I still drink my coffee, ooh I don't want the headache. Just stick with it you are almost over the hump!
Keep up the fat too! Do not get hungry!

I could not do without the java as well. Those headaches are too intense. I did stop using the cream and use nutrasweet instead. Irratibility has not been a problem to me since I feel free to eat and stay satisfied. What have you been eating? I know that I have not been on Atkins that long but I did start 6 days before you and that gives me some type of leverage!!
The diet works stay with it!!

I agree, tried to give up the caff first 2 days and felt like a zombie, added back 1 cup to wake me up and my disposition improved as well.

I got irratable too. Had nothing to do with coffee. Just carb withdrawal I believe. It goes away after about a week or so. Make sure you drink lot's of water and get plenty of sleep. Also I found a good brisk walk would help calm me down and get out my aggressions. I have started listening to language tapes while walking. Learning spanish while loosing weight. Works for me, si? Hang in there you'll adjust.
