    Induction Flu

    UGH UGH UGH is all I can say. I restarted induction on Thursday, and like magic, here's day 3 and I feel disgusting. I'm hoping this will only last a day--that's what has happened in the past. I thought for sure I wouldn't feel so cruddy, because I was only at about 35 carbs a day.

    Oh well, I'll keep drinking my water and take some motrin or something.

    Man, I don't feel like doing anything, and I was supposed to go running today. Maybe I'll settle for a long walk, that won't be so jarring.

    Any tips on what I can do to alleviate the suffering

    Hangin in there...

    I know, some folks really get hit with the flu and others seem to just not know what we're talking about. Drink lots of water and an asprine if needed. I woke up yesterday with a cold and all those nasty symptoms so I can feel for you.

      Hey it's gone! It only lasted about 6 hours--I lucked out. Ketosis, here I come!

        I think you have to get your carbs down to 20 grams to get yourself into ketosis, so if you aren't there in a day or two, check how many carbs you are taking in, DANDR says, 20 during induction..
        I am so happy you moved thru the flu! Fantastic, you can have a great weekend now
