Physical nil v Mental brill

[canibe]

Have been really off last couple of days on induction - have upped the water though I was already drinking more than 8 glasses a day - lower back, shoulders and legs aching and headaches, not hungry but still eating - just wondering if this is normal, whether I've got a bug or if its just me - am losing weight and have stuck to the diet since I made a few original errors - hurray! Is any one else suffering, is it normal and when will it go! Any support welcome!!!

Yep, just Induction Flu. Drink as much water as you can, then drink another glass!! It really helps, and soaking in a hot bubble bath doesn't hurt either. I had it pretty bad, but once it passes you will feel great. Hang in there!

That is great, I'm glad you are getting over the 'flu'. Now your body will be rid of the nasty carbs and start burning fat for fuel!!

Glad you are feeling better, but if you are not hungry why are you still eatting? read your DANDR when you aren't hungry you should be eating a small snack if 6 hrs have passed since the last time you ate. feed your hugry not the meal time, room in your belly, carbs in your budget. that is one of the most important things to learn about doing Atkins don't eat unless you are hungry or the 6 hr rule impacts you.

Happy low carbing
