i picked a bad week to start induction

[italiangrrl]

The day i started atkins i got strep throat!!! i didnt know what it was then but now im 100% positive this is strep i used to get it a million times when i was younger and i just went to the doctors.. This blows, all I want to drink is hot tea with heavy cream in it and the only thing i want to eat is oven-cooked bacon (made chewy not crispy) i need to look up vegetable recipies that i can eat that will be easy for me to swallow, even though the thought of it right now is ickkk! i havent gotten the prescriptions she called in for me but i'm praying they arent cough syrup because couldnt the sugar in them kick me out of ketosis?! i just thought about that


there is good news though, i looked in the mirror when i woke up and i was wearing a tank top and i thought "whoa, day 4 and i'm shrinking!"

There is no better day then today. You might have gotten sick on day 100, just stick to it and you will make yourself proud. I like to make soup whrn I am ill. I hope you are feeling better soon.

I agree with all of the above. Your success lies in your mind and what you think of your challenges. Stay strong and rise above them and you will be so glad you did! Stick with it and you will fortify your mind for future challenges. It gives you such confidence. The next thing that comes up, you can say to yourself, if I could stick with it through strep throat, I can stick with it through this. Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon - and I would call and ask the doctor for a sugar-free cough medicine if they prescribe the regular version.

Those antibiotics will kick that strep quick so you'll be back to yourself in no time! Hope you're feelin better already!

Keep pluggin along and eating things you're body will take in that are ok for induction. You can do it! One small struggle among many we all experience in our lives on a regular basis... I've learned that I can't use them for my excuse to stay the way I am anymore.. now I have to learn to overcome those struggles and just keep moving forward!

I wouldn't wish strep on anyone..it's terribly painful !

To get your veggies in, browns our recipe forum for soups. I like to boil cauliflower in some chicken stock, once it's cooked and soft I puree it in a blender or with a hand blender. I add some cream also, and salt and pepper to tasted. You can do alot of variaions as well, brocolli/cheddar etc.

good luck!

**also there are sugar free cough syrups on the market, just ask at your pharmacy.
