is atkins supposed to make you irritable?

my patience level is less than zero.

GGGRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, it's like PMSing for men.

Seriously, I imagine it's like quitting smoking.

 

Hell I'm always irritable when I can't drink, or at least when I'm not SUPPOSED to drink. That's why I wouldn't do it.

What week are you on? If you just started you shouldn't be drinking at all.

 

By the way, going on it after you went off it is THE hardest thing to do.

 

Yup Larry - what you're feeling is normal. When I was on Atkins, the first few weeks were the hardest - I felt oddly `out of sorts', and not quite depressed - but yes, irritable, headachy and a tad on the wobbly side. According to Atkins - this is worst when you're at the beginning and your body is getting used to the no carb thing...hang in there matey!

 

Ask Sly!

 

Addiction to unnatural sugars and carbs are very much akin (hehehe) to heroin I hear. It's at least comparable to smoking. You won't feel yourself for a while, but once you cut that shit out of your diet and caffeine too, you'll be surprised how much more alert you feel and how easy it is to get out of bed when the alarm goes off. I also found it much easier to fall asleep when I wanted to instead of when I needed to.

 

you wanna talk about irritable, try 3 days without dick, a stomach virus, not being able to use your computer without a million pop ups coming up, 3 of your smoke detectors in your house chirping even tho you just put in new batteries, all of your animals wanting attention at the same time, some asshole that thinks it's funny to call your house and breathe into the phone (and caller id shows them as "number unknown") and having the strong desire to climb a tower with a rifle and hurt some people!

 

Karma's gonna visit you too. You're gonna pay for the things you do. ~Kina

So who'd you step on this past week? Do tell....

 

PMS???
