If you used to do long distance cardio, imagine the worst bonk you have ever felt, and then imagine feeling like that almost from the start.
Thats not to say Atkins doesn't have its place. Its just that if you are trying to do cardio while on it, forget it. Maybe some weights?
Congrats on the weight loss

I'm really not worried about the lack of energy, I can just walk for an hour; I'm much more concerned about the liver toxicity that had been mentioned in another thread. I'd like to exercise more, but I love my liver!
I've quit driking while on atkins, I've removed aspertame, nitrates (I gave up my bacon).
As of now, I'm not going to run until further notice.
