Well oddly enough for me, the stiff joint problems (jaw) and cramping in the feet only occured after I had been cheating on my diet! So normally I do not get this as such with the diet I am on (high protein and fat and low carb).

I am glad I dont. I dont fancy getting gout! But so far I'm ok in that area unless I cheat of course. So I do think that sugar and other foods are far more of an issue. I find they dehydrate me to the point I cannot stop drinking. I mean it's unreal, like the dry horrors. Someone suggested that it could be the candida from cheating becaue they give off alcohols...interesting thought.

Yes I agree, I think the Adkins diet is good but missing out on the vegetables. But i certainly have to stay away from the high carbs like fruit and high carb veg liike potatoes. If i dont, I'm back to square one trying to remedy the relapse.
