[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 568880, member: 104933"] No, not necessarily. Are you having plenty of salt and water, that's the most common reason for feeling down. You need both as the diet is a natural diuretic, aim for 8 glasses of water a day an half a teaspoon of salt. Easy way to get salt is to have 2 cups of stock (home made is best, but if you don't have time or can't be bothered ) just dissolve a stock cube in hot water. And if you are on medication for diabetes your blood sugar may be low, if you don't have a meter, go to have it checked and if it's low ask for your medication to be reduced as you are now following a low carb diet. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
