Atkins Diet

Girl, I feel your pain.  I get the same exact way after I eat carbs.  The last time I ate a bowl of pasta I actually had to go lay down and take a nap.  I did Atkins last year, and lost 47lbs pretty effortlessly.  I think you are carb sensitive, not necessarily allergic.  I got off the Atkins wagon last year on my birthday and it was a horrible spiral downward and I regained my weight.  The grossest thing that happened to me is that I broke out in huge cysts all over my face.  I have never ever in my life had cystic acne and once I started eating carbs again, my whole body went crazy.  I know now that there is just no other way for me to eat but low carb.  I have energy, I'm satisfied all the time, never hungry.  I just feel better period.  You could always go for a bloodtest and talk to your Dr about your symptoms.  I personally think that you know how bad you react when you eat that stuff so your "allergies" are your bodies way of telling you that you shouldn't eat certain things. 

Feel better knowing you aren't alone.  Just cut it down or out completely and feel better.  :)

I just want to thank everyone for all their replies and suggestions. I haven't really done anything different yet, as the wedding is a little over 2 weeks away, and I just don't have much time. Believe it or not, I am still trying to find a dress to wear, nothing seems to look good to me. I was hoping to lose 10 more lbs to get to my first goal weight before I bought something, but I've stalled, even though I have been careful with what I eat, and have been exercising my behind off, still no go. Very frustrating...I've cheated a couple times this week by eating a littttle slice of cake, and you know, it sure tasted good, but within 20 minutes the indigestion started. Aughhhh!!!  A girl I work with has diabetes, and you know what? She can eat more sugar and carbs than I can, what the heck is up with that??? Ok, no more ranting, it is what it is...just going to have to deal with it...I really appreciate all of you on this board. Everyone have an AWESOME day!
