As many have said the Atkins diet is not a bad diet, as a matter of fact several very knowledgeable MD' s at work highly endorse it. The fact that you a suffering from what seems extreme weakness and rapid weight loss you have put you body in the self preservation mode. By making extreme cut backs in you calorie intake to lose weight you actually accomplish the opposite. Your body will start burning muscle more rapidly then fat and carbos which will cause the symptoms you are experiencing. If you want to lose weight without suffering in your present condition use the following. 1. You must cut way back on your carbo' s (especially sugars, and grains) intake, increase your protein uptake, drink plenty of WATER and perform at least 30 min. of moderate to high intensity cardiovascular exercise coupled with weight training at least three times a week. The best combination for most (not all) seems to be 60% protein, 20% carbos and 20% fats. This is just a staring point and you need to adjust from their. Reduce you calorie intake only to the point where you lose 2 to 3 pounds per week MAX. Most importantly seek the advice of a doctor prior to starting any diet or exercise routine. I have been training U.S. Navy Deep Sea Divers for many years and have seen many transformations using the simple routine I laid out above. LOL

Ok guys......it is the Atkins diet!!! The problem is besides following it to the letter, I' ve been eating drastically less than I should, even of the items that are legal. I' ve been skipping meals and just not eating much. I feel great, but my muscles aren' t. I' ll get it corrected!!

Thanks for the input!

I do really appreciate the comments! I think I did under eat besides following the diet correctly. I probably did lose to much to quick. Now two days later and still having an extremely sore tricept and back side of my shoulder muscle, I think I also pulled some muscles to its probably not all related to the diet. the last week and a half I' ve hung 8 new deer stands and bruched them out. Putting in tree pegs and clinging to trees, is also hard on the arms. I might have done something then to.

Thanks !
