[slowjam]

Hey guys..
this is my 4th day of atkins. this morning i woke up feeling like i could faint and felt really nauseous.... yesterday was the first day i worked out but i was fine the whole day yesterday. i was wondering if anyone has experienced nausea and any advice to help fight it.
THANKS

Hi Slowjam,
Looks as though you have a case of Induction flu. You're detoxing from sugar and simple carbs. Just make sure to drink lots of water to flush the system. It should be gone withing 24 hrs.
People experience detox with headache, nausea, light headedness.
Though if it persist longer than 48 hrs. I'd go get checked out in case you actually have the flu.

Oh, one more thing for your nausea.
Do you have some fresh ginger? Make some ginger tea by steeping some in hot water. Ginger is excellent for nausea.
