    Relax hun, this indeed sounds like Atkins flu, this means you are really getting rid of the bad stuff in your body, some people get this flu, others hardly feel it, seems like you are one of the first category, just lay low and keep on doing what you are doing, take your suplements and drink your water, you will be over it in a jiffy and than the energy kicks in, wooohooooooooooo.
    Keep on losing !!!

      Yup, like soliwit said, drink LOTS of water! This will help alleviate the symptoms--part of the cause of induction flu is mild dehydration. Take some motrin or advil, too--something WITHOUT caffiene.

      Congrats--this means you're on the right track!!!!!!!!!
