Hey

Im now at the end of day 2 of Atkins and I feel totally physically exhausted. Does this feeling of complete lathargy go away? Please help as I am thinking about going back to carbs and don't know what to do.

:help
Thanks

Laura this is called induction flu. Just hang in there it will be gone in a day or 2

Thankyou for your reply I'm glad this feeling will go away and think I will now stick to it as my blood sugars are a lot better controlled and I am on a lot less insulin.

Does the feeling of extreme thirst go away too?

actually no that is one ofthe side effects of ketosis but you will be drinking more water and soon you will figure out how much you need to balance it. Read the FAQs on why we need water to lose weight and you should have no trouble chugging doewn all the water it takes.

You will want to monitor your blood sugars closely and stay in contact with your treatment team as many folk have had to have all their diabetic meds adjusted and/or stopped because of the Atkins blood sugar controls you will be seeing. Don't allow yourself to be over medicated and get insulin shock.

Happy low carbing.
