I'm on Keto, which is similar to Atkins, but after the induction phase you can have up to something like around 50g of carbs a day (though you'll want to stay at around 20 if you want to continue to loose weight, but different bodies tolerate more). Basically the diet consists of high healthy fats, moderate protein, and low carbs. I actually feel amazing on it! The healthy fats seem to give me soooooo much more energy than carbs do, plus I feel like I still get to have treats. One of my favorites are these low carb lemon bars. Soooo lemony.
In my experience if you're feeling crappy on a low carb diet you're either not getting enough water, salt, and/or magnesium. Once you've put your body into ketosis it starts flushing out water like crazy, and you absolutely have to keep up with that or you'll weight loss will slow, and more importantly, you'll feel like crap.
I've made almost all the recipes here on my Pinterest, and people are always coming up with so many creative ways to substitute carbs that I really don't get bored. The only thing I REALLY miss is pho tai... ;_;
