Atkins Help?!?!

[aiyokusama]

So on Friday I started doing the three week atkin's challenge my friend up to me.  Hey it's just three weeks, I'll live and I'll have my metabolism ramped up.  It's worth suffering through.

But it's only been two fricking days and I have NO ENERGY!!!!

What am I doing wrong? o.o

Atkins? That's the low/no carbs diet, right? Dear, Carbs=energy ^_^0 I'll admit right off the bat that I am a cynical about Atkins, as it seems to cut out the most important, basic food groups in favor of some less healthy ones. My understanding is that you reduce your blood sugar, and force your body to feed off excess body fat. The body fat is a decidedly less efficient and less accessible source of energy

That's right. I'm in the first stage which lasts three weeks. I have to cut out all carbs and refined sugars.

I'm cynical about it too, but....it's only three weeks, then I get to start adding my carbs back in. So, yeah.....we'll see.

I actually talked to my friend about it and apparently the first 5-7 days I WILL be without energy while my body adjusts to burning fat, which is a lot more effort then burning carbs.

Oh and I'm not allowed any fruits in this stage ^_^;;; I've been shoveling what fruits we had in the house into the BF.

I value your biased two cents :) And a healthy, balanced diet is my goal. The three weeks is to try and reboot my metabolism so that my body appreciates the "healthy and balanced" life ~_^
