Hi all,
I am new to the board. Have been finding it very helpful.
Just had a question about Atkins flu and some strange symptoms I've been having.
I am on day 9 of a clean induction, a couple of days I may have gone over with 1-2oz of sweetener or cheese, but I'd say it's been 90% clean.
The first couple of days I felt great, especially noticing that my face is much less puffy in the mornings.
Today however, I woke up with these symptoms.
-Big headache (actually woke me up at 5am)
-tension in my molars
-general tension in my head
-puffy/tired looking face
-very thirsty
I am wondering if this is the Atkins flu, as when I tried Atkins Induction a while back I also suffered from these EXACT symptoms for 3-4 days and then they went away and I felt fine. But isn't it a bit late in the game for me to be experiencing this? And isn't it usually a tired feeling? (I have had a good amount of energy since day 3-4).
Checked keto strips yesterday for first time (after a loooong walk) and they turned out "trace".
I drink the recommended amount of water and take these supplements:
1- magnesium/potassium
2-multi-vit
3- vit d
4- coq10
5-fish oil omega 3
every other day i take atenol for high blood pressure (i'm 28!!!! and under 130lbs!!)
more info in the sig
Any advice?
Thanks in advance ^_^
