I think among other problems I’d gotten us too carb-short. We’ve been eating very little carb (I’ve dropped 5 pounds in a few days, but heck, I’ve got summer pants I want to fit into!) and I think I just over did it. Last night I added brussel sprouts, cauliflower and carrots and broccoli instead of the usual spinach salad, and felt better an hour later. You really have to watch it on Atkins: you have to drink 8 glasses of water a day and you have to take vitamin\/mineral to make up for what you’re not getting, and if you’re getting all your permitted carbs (20 a day, during this phase: your typical frozen dinner has 40-50 a meal) from nuts and vegetables, you have to be careful which veggies, and green leafy ones can be treacherously short on carb. My fault.<\/p>\n
I am still adding hyper-salted water. slowly.<\/p>\n
You just can’t push salinity up and down fast or you can screw up coral tissues and fishy kidneys, not to mention osmotic shock for shelled creatures like crabs, who can’t ‘sweat’.<\/p>\n
