After a few months on Atkins, I noticed stiff and painful elbow, wrist and knee pain. I continued to adhere to strict no carbohydrate diet and by the end of the year, it felt as if I was walking on broken glass. Finally, I stopped the diet and soon after the pain began to diminish until it was gone. I thought it might be a coincidence and so I went back on the Atkins diet and the joint pain came back immediately. Again, I went off the diet and began a moderate carb diet with very low caloric intake. That was two years ago. Recently, I decided to give the diet another chance. The first three weeks were fine and I started to lose weight quickly. The fourth week which began three days ago, I began to experience terrible joint pain again. I have not been able to run my usual 3 - 4 miles daily for three days. Im off the diet for good. This morning, I bought fresh organic produce and grains.
While searching through the internet about this issue, I found information stating that no carbs elevates uric acid in the blood creating crystals in our joints which is gout and gout creates terrible joint pain.

If you have decided to lose weight the Atkins way with a high protein and low carb diet, coming up with meal ideas can mean the difference between diet boredom and weight loss success. During the first phase of the diet you can eat unlimited protein and fats, along with 20 carbs from vegetables and cheeses. Try roasting some green peppers with mozzarella cheese and adding a grilled chicken breast for one meal. For another, fry a steak in a skillet and add mushrooms sauted in butter with melted mozzarella cheese over the top, for delicious restaurant-style food at home.
