That is actually part of it. As I have said, most people who are on this board and complained about "Induction flu" were capable to do their normal activities and got over it in 1-3 days. Furthermore, if one is badly affected by the "flu", he or she should follow Dr. Atkins' advice and add another cup of vegetables or a few nuts, not eat 50-70 g of carbohydrate.

Now of course, I went through induction last week and I can definitely say that I don't want to be DRIVING A CAR or anything while under induction flu, but hey don't mind me. I only have 6 posts under my name and you've got thousands so you must be right.
If you had read the book and not only the Atkins website, you would have known how to deal better with the symptoms.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
