Ketosis has the same effect on me. I feel awful lately after a year and a half on Atkins. I've been battling dehydration and lethargy and hunger and musculoskeletal aches and pains. It doesn't feel natural guzzling water and licking salt and having to keep a constant vigil on my electrolyte intake. This past week or so I've been experimenting with adding rice, potato, carrots and peas into my diet to boost my daily carb level. It's a balancing act, I'm watching the scale, but I feel so much better! I'll find that sweet spot. I guess what I'm doing is what Dr. Atkins intended for his diet followers, "climbing the ladder."
