    Maybe not exactly normal, but not uncommon from what I see being posted around the board.
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



    Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

      During the first half of my first week of induction I was fairly moody. I found my temper to be much shorter.

      It cleared up gradually by the second week, and now I think I'm actually in better spirits.

        I fwas moody and felt like a total mess during my first week, but it passed once my body got over its addictions.

        Good luck and hang in there!

          its called the induction flu it doesnt last for too long

          also your muscles may be weak cause your body needs to produce more insulin receptors for them but each day they will improve and in 3 weeks of strict atkins they should be in great shape

                  Stick with it! Induction flu rarely lasts more than a few days. After that, you'll (both) be fine.
