Water
Hi Luxy,
Water is very important. It helps flush the ketones out of the body and also helps the cells release fat, so the more you drink the better. Drinking more water has been known to be the factor in breaking a stall. It is possible that keeping your water intake down could slow your weight loss. It may be one of those your mileage may vary (YMMV) things.
As far as the original version of Atkins: I'd suggest investing in the newer version, or wait until the 1st or 2nd week of Dec, the good Dr has a new book coming out. There is a lot of new information in Dr A's NEW Diet Revolution that is helpful. Protein Power is another good source of information for low carbers.
The adage 'information is power' is true for lowcarbing as in other things so the more you read, the better off you'll be. If you don't want to start a LC library of your own, your local library may have some books.
Good luck in your LC journey
