This video is in response to a question I received:
"I've been very faithful and am over the induction flu, but now I don't have ANY energy. I slept great last night and I feel like I could lay down right now and take a nap. I'm not skipping meals, I'm taking a multivitamin, and am drinking loads of water. What can I do to get my energy back up?"

My response to her was you are still early into the diet, so your body is still probably adjusting to the new diet. However, if you want to try something immediately, you might a couple supplements that worked for me.

  • I was a complete sugar addict...I cant believe that only three days into the atkins diet...my sugar cravings were GONE. Even looking at high sugar foods repelled me...Im just struggling with the alcohol + atkins...where does it fit?

  • @the7thwreck It fits in the second phase. It's the fourth rung. I do have a video posted here on alcohol and Atkins, but the short answer is it's allowed, but you suspend fat burning while it is still in your system.

  • no one ever talks about protein shakes and induction I'm in induction, Im working out, and I'm donating plasma and losing protein and need to do shakes...can i just count the carbs? 6 grams carbs per 60 grams of protein, its a whey protein isolate 

  • I'm so glad that you did all the footwork!

  • Can i take liquid L Carnatine and Ginseng and Guarana for energy boost? I've been doing the atkins 4 15 days and i play soccer twice a week, i've only lost 6lbs and it goes up and done. I've also been doing weights to tone up but don't think i've been drinking enough water, could this be why?

  • You are correct. PCRM and PETA want to postulate a myth he had a heart attack which led to the slip and fall on the ice. There is no evidence of that.

  • what was dr. atkins fate? i thought he past away from an accident not from his diet?

  • He did not have a diet related heart attack prior to his death. The only heart attack he had in his life was related to an infection in his cardiac tissue. One incident does not imply a clear history, and the only report stating that was a document released by PCRM a PETA-funded group. Again shocker of bias.

    For one who does not follow PETA, you certainly follow their thinking pretty closely as it relates to the good doctor.

  • "slipping and falling on ice is not a consequence of any diet. "

    If you believe in that rubbish, then go ahead. Dr. Atkins had a clear history of heart attacks. Perhaps he fell on ice when he had the heart attack LOL
