Re: Induction flu second time around

I am so grateful for your thread on the flu..I read it and it is so encouraging..I feel better just reading it..Can't wait till I pass the flu..Just knowing others have it and are working on it is encouraging.. I always feel alone and that everyone has made there comitment and are doing good and I am struggling to get thorugh the day and especially the night. I go to bed late so after dinner till I go to bed is hard sometimes, and other times I don't think about having any hunger thoughts..And of course just having leagal treats helps too.It is when I have extra good things that it is the hardes...
Thanks for your post and thanks to the Atkins Diet Bullentin Board

Fantastic post

Thought I'd give Induction another go (too much partying lately) and am currently suffering from every symptom on there and it's not even been 24 hrs.

I sufered with the induction flu the first time around for bout 24 hrs, i have recently started induction again 3 days ago and have had hardly any trouble except little bit tired and slightly dizzy now an again, dya think i will prob find slower weight loss this time or does it not neccessarily always happen 2 everyone? altho i went on scales after 1st day and was down 2lbs! but havent weighed today yet so im hopin its more!

Re: Induction flu second time around

It's interesting how varied our reations are. The first time I did induction I was terribly ill. This time, the only symptom I had was a craving for sweets. I felt fine, however.

I guess this is another example that, when it comes to weightloss and nutrition, there are no hard and fast rules.

Re: Induction flu second time around

Amy, the scales, as you have found are evil. Have you measured yourself. Its a much better indicator.
Chris, your right, each of us react to this WOE differently. One can lose steadly every week, others are excited when they lose a pound a month. The trick is not to compare one with the other, and understand that we do things differently

Today is only my second day, but when leaving work today I felt nauseaous and my head felt cloudy. I wonder if it was due to carb withdrawal. I felt like I was going to faint

Hi Mary Ann!

Im sure you are going through the dreaded induction flu. Pamper yourself thru til its over. The first time on Atkins I had no symptoms at all but boy this last time I made up for it in spades.

Hang in there! It will pass and you'll feel wonderful~

Re: Induction flu second time around

Hit me hard on my second/third day. I was very nauseous, achy, grumpy, weepy. It was bloody horrible

All good now.

Re: Induction flu second time around

I recall that "wow! I feel great!' feeling the first time I tried Atkins. My house was pretty darn clean back then. I couldn't sit down and watch TV for more than 10 mins..I just had to be doing things. Seems like each successive time the bonus is not as strong. I have been on for four days this time and am very irritable. I have woken up the past two days with a sore throat. I have not had a sore throat since I quit smoking 4 months ago. I am a nose drippy/stuffy, irritable, flighty, super sugar-free b#t*h right now. Hoping some of this will pass soon.

Re: Induction flu second time around

Ah yes isn't that the truth? Each time the bonuses seem smaller, BUT The weight loss and health benefits out weigh them all. Stay strong! And take some echanicia

Re: Induction flu second time around

Well hello to everyone... I am on my second stab at Atkins. I was succesful two and a half year ago losing a little over 20 pounds. I now am back up to 154 and want to get down to 135. I just got engaged!!! Need to look HOT in my wedding dress. I am looking forward to the support this forum can offer me.... I am on day 3, no weight loss, but in the middle of the so-called "induction flu" so I must be on the right track. I am a bit nervous as I have heard it is much harder to lose the second time around... first time around the weight just fell right off, so wish me luck as we all battle this..
