HI GOGO , WELCOME......8 POUNDS is awesome.

And another big welcome from me, GoGo... I somehow missed your post--so glad that Lowco bumped it up. 8 pounds---great work!!!!

You mentioned chest pain on Atkins....I have been following Atkins and find I feel very fatigued, muscles ache and are weak....and sometimes have heart palpitations.

Is this what you had ?

I just had some Splenda sweetened yougourt and some TLC crackers (whole grain/no trans fat) with cheddar cheese....and I am starting to feel better...calmer.

Your doing great!

Hi Natasha,
Maybe you should check out some info on Potassium.
Do you take any supplements?

Yes I take it already, as well as extra calcium.

Natascha,

I guess I would describe what I felt as a tightness in the chest area, maybe a racing heartbeat. It's been a while, so I can't be more specific than that. I just know, I don't feel it when on CAD.

On Atkins, are you adding enough carbs in?

I am bumping this for those wondering if CALP works for anyone....
