Yanni, I did Atkins for a few months several years ago. When you drastically cut carbs from your diet, you do feel really bad for a few days. If you can hang in there, it will get better. My doctor gave me a crash course in label reading and said to keep the sugar grams between 3-5, make sure it wasn't high in fat and had at least 3 g of fiber. He said if you can those 3 things right, the rest would take care of itself. He also said good carbs like those in whole grains and fruit/veggies were okay. Get familiar with the Glycemic Index. It will be your friend. If something is high, avoid it. I love bananas but rarely have them because they are high in sugar even though they are good for you.
