This just started last week. I’ve been drinking plenty of water, chewing gum, even drinking hot tea. Any of you have any suggestions? I don’t want to go to the store just buying up stuff that I think will help. We’re in a recession I’m trying to save all I can. And also could the diet be the cause of this? Do some of you have the same problem? I’ve never really had dry throat like this before.
yesterday and today for 40 mins each and at a speed of 3 on treadmill. I walked a total of 2 miles both days but today mid afternoon I started feeling sooooo drained. Is this normal? 
I also drank plenty of water.
Hi guys, my name is Ernesto. I’m from San Antonio, Texas and just joined this particular message board. I’m not new to atkins, but I thought I’d share my progress in the hopes that I’d maybe inspire someone having troubles.
I’m a 25 year old grad student, working towards a PhD in Information Technology (well, I graduate in May with my MS in Information Assurnace & Security and start the PhD in August, to be exact). As of right now, I’m 240 lbs and stand 5′10, but 2 years ago, I was pretty close to 400 lbs!!!! I was really feeling quite sick and worried for my health, so I started Atkins and stuck to it (strictly). I waited 6 months before I started to work out, and from what I remember, I lost 70 lbs from diet alone in that period. The extreme cravings took about 6 months to totally die off, and once I hit 270, I started lifting weights with a vengance. I went the entire first year without a single cheat day and now I’m just working on the last few steps.
Here is a collage of pics that show the progress I made over the course of a year and 7 months.
