    Please tell me this wont last!!!

    Hi all

    Day 2 of induction I have the headache from **** (feels like that anyway as I haven't had a headache in a long time) I am sure I could commit murder if pushed even slightly(not me AT ALL usually have a very long tether!) And I feel like I haven't slept in a week.

    I think that probably a lot of this is the fact that I used to drink at least 5 coffee's a working day with milk & sugar and I haven't had any caffeine, dairy or sugar for 32 hours....blimey is that all addiction smadiction pish

    Anyway sorry to gripe but please tell me this will go away & soon all I need now is for this so called Dragon breath to kick in today & then I will smell like I am behaving ack!

    ciao x

    Re: Please tell me this wont last!!!

    I feel your pain! I've quit caffeine twice - the first time cold turkey and actually had to go to bed for two days. The second time (decade later), I weaned myself off over a period of two weeks. Still the occasional headache, but at least I was easier to be around. That time it stuck. I got headaches during the Induction phase of the program just from cutting out the sugar and refined flours, but those stopped completely after the first 10 days or so. I admire you for trying to kick all the addictions at once, but if the pain/discomfort gets to be too much, take those small baby steps! All the best with this.

      Thanks Bellybegone,

      You know I hadn't actually thought about the "addictions" thing other than the coffee but I guess if you look at it there are a few in there! food, sugar, caffeine, fruit!

      I will stick it out I just don't know if those around me will!!


      How are you doing with atkins and how much have you lost etc?

        It doesn't last for too long thankfully. I was a real coffee addict before starting Atkins. I would have about 5 cups of strong filter coffee and cups of tea every day.

        On my first two days of induction I got nasty headaches, but after that they just went away. Don't get disheartened, it will get easier.

          Increasing your water intake will help with the headaches, keto-breath and funky pee. It should pass in a few days. Keep it up, these are signs you are doing it right.

              Day Three seems to be the big hump according to most of the e-mail I get. Once you're past it, you're done and it's smooth sailing - hang in there, Debbie!

                i used to own a coffee shop, i was totally addicted to caffeine. I wrote about getting off of it in the addiction forum. It was a terrible thing to do. the migraine was the worst.

                  Ive never had induction flu before, but this time around, I work up at 4:00am everynight drenched in night sweats, was falling asleep at my desk at work, felt like I didn't have enough energy to drive home from work, and had a headache for 4 days.

                  I'm now feeling much better!

                    I can only tell you, the detox is terrible, but if you can stick it out, it is fantastic. You will get an energy rush you will not believe and feel like a million bucks!

                      It is more than caffeine withdrawal. Carb withdrawal is hard! Just think of this as DTs from carb addiction. Luckily it only lasts three or four days and then you feel really better and clear headed. You should get a burst of energy and lose your appetite. It IS worth it. Just hang in there!
