Re: Has Anyone Felt This Way?

Ummm, if you are eating no carbs, you need to be. This is not a no carb diet, but a low carb diet. Are you eating your veggies? This said it definitely sounds like you are suffering Induction flu ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8hxhVk6tk ). I know it feels rotten, but rest assured it is temporary. Keep drinking your water, take tylenol, and feel comfort that feeling this way demonstrates you are on the right course.

As for soda, there are some acceptable types. If you are not up for Diet Rite, think about soda. Was it a good part of your diet before or something that held you back? Soda was proven to cause stalls in some people. You are in the roughest part, but it will soon be over if you stick with it.

Just hang on tight. I put some warm towls on my head and let it cool off that used to help.

Induction flu is a sign that your body is eliminating the cravings for the sugar that it is used to having. Keep drinking the water and stick to the program...it will pass and you'll soon be filled with more energy and feeling great!

BUT WHOA BABY WHEN YOU START FEELING BETTER AND POSTING THOSE ENERGY RUSHES, AND THOSE POUNDS FALLIN OFF, YOU'LL FORGET ABOUT THESE HARD DAYS AND WITH DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE YOU'LL MAKE IT!!!!!!

Re: Has Anyone Felt This Way?

Helena here! Just saw your please help me message. I was already worried about you on the 350 group. The fact is, you cannot just rush straight into Atkins without reading the book. I just bought the Atkins New Diet Revolution on Ebay for £1.58 - that's about $3. Search Ebay and buy one NOW!

You've got it all wrong about no carbs, as others have said. And you MUST drink the water. Loads and loads.

You and me, we are in this together now. Failing is no longer an option. Let's choose LIFE over DEATH.

Lots of love

Helena
