Default Re: Atkins flu or real flu?

I've seemed to have the exact opposite reaction. I was fine the first week but got this dang headache on day 9. It went away after day 11. I have noticed that I tend to have to go to the restroom (#1) a lot. I mean a lot! I drink a gallon of water a day and seem to get rid of a gallon and a half! I felt different on day 9 and that was the day my keto-stip turned its darkest shade of lavendar yet. I guess I'm on the right track! Yay!

I'm very satisfied with the results so far (15 pounds in 11 days) and haven't felt deprived once.

I've been following a zero carbs approach. What's funny is that I'm eating beef, chicken, eggs and cheese pretty much everyday. I drink a pot of coffee and and about a gallon of water each day. I don't miss the carbs really. It really is an eye opener how much of our diets were based around breads, pastas and other processed carbs.

I noticed my weights workout today was a little tougher than normal but I was able to get through it without busting my hump.
