Hi,
I started Atkins at the beginning of June and while I've had numerous occasions where I've "gone off" the diet for various events, travel, etc., overall I've done well and lost 21 pounds. I've really been losing in the past week.

I had been feeling great but in the past several days, I've been very tired - possibly due to not sleeping well. I've had some chills and worst of all, I have a horrible bruise on my leg (plus a couple of tiny bruises) but I don't recall doing anything to cause it.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this and if so, what did you do? I was thinking maybe I need to up the carbs for a bit even if it means stopping the weight loss and then go back to induction once I'm feeling better. But I don't want to gain a bunch of the weight back especially if it won't help.
