It sounds like Induction Flu, but if it doesn't calm down in a few days, go see your doctor.
Are you eating every few hours or so? Drinking the required amount of water? Are your carbs extremely low? Some folks say they feel better when their carb intake is closer to the 20, so check yourself out at fitday.com. Here's a link to explain how fitday can help you.

You may also want to post a menu in the Review my Menu forum so we can have a look at it. Take a sec to read the sticky in there on how to post your menu. Including the time of day when you eat is helpful as well.


I know I felt like the dog's breakfast still on day 7, with headache, lethargy, body aches...the whole shebang...but hang in there and it should pass.

Dr. Atkins also said if you feel really bad to up your carbs (legal ones of course) just a bit until the feeling passes and then lower them again. He says there's no reason to feel really bad. Better that you should increase the carbs a tiny bit and stay on plan than quit. You'll feel better soon.
