Who has done Atkins?

Have any of you ever done the Atkins thing? I bought and read the book recently (I'm getting married on Valentine's Day and want to lose a few lbs) and just started the induction phase and I know Dr. Atkins said we're addicted to carbs, but I'm actually going through withdrawal symptoms. I'm so jittery my hands are actually shaking and it's only been one day. And it's not because I'm hungry. I had Prime Rib.

I've been a bit concerned about my blood sugar lately anyway. I've had 2 low blood sugar attacks. My family on both sides has diabetes including both grandmothers (one died of it), and both of my parents. I'm 34 and overweight, and think the subject of my bloodsugar has been avoided too long.

I need to find someone with Atkins experience to help me make it through induction. It's kicking my ass, but according to the book I should feel much better in a few days.
