I have been doing Atkins for about a month now and I've lost 13 pounds. A couple weeks in I had my little "burst of energy" moment and was even in ketosis. Now my ketostix are saying negative and I'm back to my slump of being sluggish and tired. I've been following the plan w/o cheating so I am wondering what's up?? Any suggestions?

It is possible that some carbs are sneaking in. Also aspartame can prevent you from going into ketosis. It does affect some people. Just go through your food list and try to eliminate possible culprits. Let me know if I can help.

Dr Atkins recommends diet drinks made with splenda. I bought some diet coke with splenda the other day, don't know about sprite though.

kimbulie, can you give the name of the drink and where you got it? We have stopped buying diet drinks since we discovered aspartame is related to some diseases. I would love to be able to replace aspartame with splenda or any other sweet subsitute.

It's actual Diet Coke but on the label it says made with Splenda. I don't know if any of the other brands are doing it though. Just keep an eye out for it, I got it at a local grocery but if they had it, any big chain should have it.

I know my mom had a hard time with the diet soda. She was doing everything right and never getting into ketosis. When she gave up the diet pop she was in ketosis in two days!!
