Coll, Is your son healthy other than the few extra pounds? I had not gotten a cold or flu in about four years and then tried to do Atkins when it first became popular and got a bad cold and shortly after a flu. I also had trouble concentrating. Shortly after that I found out that I could not do Atkins because of an overactive thyroid condition.

If your son has not had a general physical in over a year it might be a good idea for him to get one, especially if he wants to do the Atkins diet. I know the doctors prefer low fat, low cholesterol, low salt, etc. and exercise.
