starting induction again

[bubbles21]

Hi,

I started atkins few weeks back, didnt last a week because of major headaches and not being regular..eww...it was actually a really suffocating experience for me, I couldnt get my mind of the fact that I hadnt gone to the bathroom in 3 days..lol..i was chugging down tons of psyllium husks as well...didnt help very much..probably because i was used to 30 to 40 grams fiber before thats why..

then i read somewhere, i could use flaxseeds..and ive been on induction again for four days..have a big spoon of flax plus water..and been regular everyday Thank god..and no headache..

today is my fourth day..i have lost 2 pounds so far...from 121 to 119 again. I am following everything exactly. Going to do this for two weeks. The only thing im cheating on is drinking half a glass of diet soda ...trying my best to control that...

Wish me luck and pray for me that I dont die in a a suicide bomb attackk ahaha..i live in pakistan..

How much is "tons"? Too much can make matters worse, especially if you don't drink enough water.

As I have said in your other thread, with 9 lbs to lose and being already at a healthy weight, you should not be doing Induction.

Re: starting induction again

tons is actually say 2 tablespoons with water in the morning..then drinking alot of water throughout the day...then again 2 tablespoons at night..I dont know why flaxseed works better..maybe it has more insoluble fibers..

Re: starting induction again

I know those headaches can be rough. I had to wean myself off of diet coke this time. There was no way I'd survive coming off of cold turkey.
