Induction flu affects everyone differently. Some people experience it early on, others late in the game. For me, induction flu started on day 2 and had finished its course by day 5. Others have had it for over a week - so it really depends on your body type.

Best advice? Grin and bear it. Drink lots of water. Do not give into any cravings - unless they are induction friendly. Make sure you take your vitamins and get some excercise. Oh, and drink more and more water. This helps flush your system and will make you feel better.

Usually by day 3 is when you can start testing. It takes your body 24-48 hrs to switch to a fat burning metabolism if your sticking to the rules, so by day 3 you should be in ketosis.
