Hello! I am new here and need some advice; my doctors advice is; ditch the ATKINS and all low carb diets, but hey with weight loss going so well, I am loathe to. I have lost 3 kilos in about 5 weeks on atkins(eating enough fats and veggies) and have only another 4 kilos to go, BUT I have developed crippling low blood pressure ( 80/50) which has left me DRAINED of energy (I thought you were supposed to feel FULL of energy on Atkins??) and have developed tinnitus which is a constant sound like a Star Wars laser buzzing in my left ear.OK I know this is not 'normal' but why should atkins cause these problems.?
Merci if anyone could give me help/advice.
