Heart palpitations in at the end of week 1 ???

[marcinsmola]

Hi everyone!

My wife and I started the induction phase exactly 7 days ago. Everything was going wonderfully until this morning when my wife instead of loosing some weight over night actually gain 0,5 kg comparing with yesterday (maybe that's the mistake we have been weighing every day).

Also she started to have heart palpitations around the 5th day and they continue till today... Is it normal?

I know Dr Atkins mentions that in his book speaking of withdrawal symptoms but my wife is quite discuraged...

HELP! ANYONE?

I don't know, I've been having them for years. Mine seemed to really act up when I just had a huge carb load or when I got really stressed. I've not had them so far... maybe have her see the doctor? Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Keria! We should schedule an appointment first thing tomorrow anyway just to make sure.

Palpitations are not a symptom of the "Induction flu". It could be something like a potassium deficiency, but it is better to see a doctor.
