Hey everyone! Today is a good day. I'm down 2 more lbs but I'm feeling so tired lately. I cheated bad this past saturday but jumped right back onto induction and now I'm feeling loopey like I usually do when I've been doing a clean induction for 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm back into ketosis now but I'm wondering why am I feeling like I've been in ketosis forever? Meaning, I'm getting the light headedness and weird foggy effect. Has this happened to anyone?

Re: has this happened to you?
I don't think that's a side effect of ketosis....
But yes, I used to get head rushes all the time when I was really loosing. I think I was losing too fast. But I never felt 'loopey' lol.
Maybe you should go to the doc if the fogginess and light headedness continues!! Better safe than sorry...

I always get that "loopy" lightheaded feeling when restart induction properly (no cheats, etc.) I thought it was part of the induction flu.MarcyComment

Re: has this happened to you?
if you keep having this definitely see a doctor....and tell me what the diagnosis is because I've been having this forever and my doc can't find the reason.
Blood pressure and blood tests came back fine, right now I have a cold but I have this with or without being ill.
so you better watch it.Date to reach goal: I don't care, as long as it happens :P

Re: has this happened to you?
Just reading through and I do find some times I have the symptoms too but not enough to think much of them. One thing that it does sound like is anemia I hope I spelled that right but could it be that you are low on iron? I have had it due to bleeding problems and that's how I felt. Just a thought. Take care of yourself!

You know you may be right. I do have anemia but I never take my iron pills.

I will make it a point to get some iron pills this weekend. It's just that it causes major blockage if you know what I mean 
Thanks everyone.

Yes, this happens to me from time to time. I'm back and on my 2nd week of induction, didn't really get it at first, but do get the nauseau which I associate with fat burning too fast, then I eat more but it doesn't go away right away. This happened to me the first time (on lc) for me as well.
Hang in there, make sure to get your veggies in and make sure to eat enough. If that doesn't do it, then I would defintely call the doctor as everyone is suggesting. Besides, I'm not sure if my way of thinking is correct either!
