Re: Is this normal
If you started Aug 4 I'd have thought you'd be through induction flu by now. Are you eating enough? If not, and if your carbs are very low, try adding a few extra legal veggies and some fat.
Hope you feel better soon!Before and after:

Re: Is this normal
It does sound like the flu.
I think you can take some caffeine free headache meds, make sure you drink lots of water. As for being hungry, it's probably because you're not eating enough. Eat a little more. Make sure you're getting in your three cups of veggies.Comment

Re: Is this normal
I'm on day 5 of induction and I've had to take one Advil twice so far in the 5 days. That's alot for me, considering that I normally only take maybe 5 pain relievers in an entire year. So yeah, I'd say the headache is normal. However, I've never been hungry when adopting this way of eating. My thought is that you are not eating enough. You need to make sure you are eating enough (legal foods) or your metabolism will go into starvation mode and try to hold the weight and make you feel cruddy at the same time. Good Luck!

Re: Is this normal
Yes - but remember 'salad' doesnt mean just lettuce (which is basically 'chewy water') Look at the 'salad vegetables' list which you can have 2 cups plus one cup of the 'other vegetables' list OR 3 cups if you only choose from the 'salad veggies' list and you will see the variety you can choose from.Originally posted by tyler90caliWondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Was looking at your join date. Induction flu is my vote then. Hang in there... it'll pass.
