Re: sickkkkk

First of all, eat something. It will give you energy. Something hot, something delicious. Like a big hot portion of scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese and a salad. Or some hamburger buns with legumes, mayonnaise and mustard. Drink something hot like a nice coffee with cream to keep you awake.
But 14 hours shifts are too long, tell your boss he's crazy!

Re: sickkkkk

Aww I know exactly how you feel right now. You know whats great? I bought, I think in whole foods, this tea...its like a herbal tea made by the japanese (?) and it actally makes you feel much better. So if your near whole foods be sure to pick up some. It taste fine just the way it is but if anything you can add some sweetner and itll be all good =]

Re: sickkkkk

Jakey - I feel sick, too! Is this the "induction flu"?

i think so. i actually feel really nauseous, im going to have to force myself to eat lunch soon. i brought a salad so hopefully the carbs in that will make me feel a little better.

wow i never felt this nauseous the first time i did atkins!

Re: sickkkkk

Jake...It is an eye opener that the foods you were eating were actually affecting your body so much that just by cutting them out they can cause such a reaction...isn't it? We as a society have mindlessly been poisioning our bodies. You can make it through this!! And you will feel better. Stay strong!

Re: sickkkkk

www.fitday.com for entering your food and seeing what the counts are. Plus watch your artificial sweetners. Dr Atkins recommends that we limit ourselves to 3 a day. It effects different people different ways. Some can have them with no effects and others it can stall them. So watch for that. Also cheese is limited to 3-4 oz a day..and yes the cream cheese counts.

Zucchini and eggplant in butter. Will have to try that. Those are both things I planted in my garden for the first time. Keep going!!

Re: sickkkkk

thanks elsie, you are definitely right - the sweetners are my weakness!! i did atkins once before and surpassed my sweetner limit and stll lost so i think i will be ok - but they are my weakness right now!! i will be better tom orrow i promise

and the zucchini/eggplant combo is quite delish! definitely give it a try !
