It's most probably induction flu and it should go away in a few days. Take it as a sign that you're doing the right thing.

The worse thing I experienced during induction were mild headaches, but they never lasted longer than a day (for ~1 hour). I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.

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!"
