So weird feeling

[littletexloser]

Today is day 14 and I lost a total of 6.6 BUT, I really wasn't eating a lot of fat. 3 wks. ago I quit weight watchers core plan and flex b/c it was too hard for me to stick with. I always wanted to cheat and then start the next day doing better. I don't have that w/Atkins. Well, actually yest. was hard b/c I wanted to eat the candy I'd bought from the store. I didn't though b/c, I don't want to start back from the beginning. I want to finally succeed at this. I've been on weight loss programs for the past 4 yrs. and am still not at goal. Uggg!!! I'm just needing to talk. I never really had the "induction flu". Well, the past 3 days I've really been adding fat to my diet and that does include bacon. (I quit eating bacon b/c they are all cured w/sugar) But, it has actually helped me. I am feeling dizzy and kind of queezy but not too bad. I feel very weird physically and I think that is the ind. flu. Anyway, hopefully next weeks weigh in will be much better now that I have a hold on things. I think I was putting too much thought into it but now I'm eating what is on the list and not leaving anything out like b4 and it's starting to work again.

Thank ya'll for putting up with me.

Re: So weird feeling

congrats on grasping the plan. it is hard for low fatters to embrass the high fat concept of Atkins but protein is made to glucose in the body too and not eating enough fats can keep you sugar burning even when you aren't getting it from carbs.

soon you will get the appetite supression of the ketosis and that wil be a bkessing to have to set your alarm to remind you it has been 6 hrs since you last ate and you got to eat a small protein/fat snack with some of your carbs.

Happy low carbing

Re: So weird feeling

littletex, just keep with it. The induction flu will pass and you'll be well on your way.

My advice to you is,

Make sure to drink your water. A minimum of 64 oz a day....and more. I'm drinking in excess of 100 ounces a day.

Make sure to eat your vegetables. 3 cups a day!!

Don't try to do low fat...you need the fat to keep you satisfied and craving free.
