Nikki,

I hope you are not following the Atkins diet too strictly, Dr. Elizabeth Vliet who wrote two books on hormones and women, most recently "Women, Weight and Hormones" published this month warns that the Atkins diet can have bad effects over time on women, it can affect thyroid and other hormones. I've also read that it can cause difficulty for the body in other ways over time because it is a bit too low in carbs.

Thanks for letting me know I wasn't imagining it all. I am definitely not experiencing ups and downs from my food the way that I did. But I am still feeling like I'm having palpitations, don't know if it's from my thyroid or IR, or low ferritin, or what, I know that it is not anxiety though.
