Susan: I am a retired social worker, and given the volume of reports required, I have often felt as though I was "running in the mud" many times. It had nothing to do with low carbing though, just work overload.

Didn't happen with me, but I hear that some folks feel quite muddled (or muddied, in your case) for the first few weeks. And then things clear.

As for the cheese, I think it would be a good idea for you to look back over the Atkins Diet Revolution book. I can't remember the limitations at the moment, something like 2-4 ounces during induction as I recall, but I could be way off.

And as Tofi said, please do take your caps lock button off, as it is considered shouting.


I wish you well,

Kay
