Hi Mary,
I am glad to hear that you are working on getting better. While I am a little concerned with you going on Atkins to loose weight, I do think it's a good idea to cut out sugars. Everybody is different but I would say it takes at least 3 days for the cravings to go away, but for me that included cutting out artificial sweeteners in my tea/decaf like Splenda and also all the low carb bars sweetened with artificial sweeteners. IMHO as long as you continue to consume them you will crave sweets.

As for me with sweets I was drinking 24 cans of pop in a day and now since Sunday I havent had a drink of pop I am drinking water ( flavored ) and I feel like crap right now but I am hopeing that will go away soon, I know it is best for my body. My energy level is way down and I am very moody and I have heard that was one of the symptoms of going off carbs and sugars. I will soon be getting my exercise bike so that will hopefully help me lose some of my body fat and help my lungs get stronger ( I have asthma ) and I am getting the bike to build up my lungs and to be honest to lose the wt. my fear is that I will over do it and be excessive at exercising again, I can never do things in moderation. But I feel as if I need to lose wt in order to be happy about who I am and I know that is all my ED but right now I am so unhappy with the way I look I have never been this high on my wt not even when I was PG. here this post was pose to be to TY and I just kept rambling on and on. TY very much kiddo
