  • Induction flu on day five?

    Hi Guys

    I am on day five of induction and feel cold and as if I have flu coming. I remember from doing atkins before that you do get like this for a short time at the beginning... I hope that's what it is!

    How long does it last?

    I think that I only had the induction flu for about a day or two. Of course, this is also the season for the real flu so watch your symptoms. Either way, lots of fluids are a good thing and will help you to feel better.

    Hopefully it is just the induction flu and tomorrow or the morning after you'll wake up with lots and lots of energy!

        I can tell you from personal experience that I did start getting really cold on day 3 but only due to drinking so much water and the body giving off a ton of heat. I also got really bad headaches from caffiene and carb withdrawl.

          Thanks guys. I feel much better today. I think it is prob carb/caffeine withdrawal as I completely cut out diet coke too and used to have three cans a day.
