Day 4 and I feel like I'm dying

[rescueme1975]

Okay, this diet is giving me the runs. I don't want to eat anything. I have no energy. I just want to stay in bed and sleep. I will try and eat something b/c I feel like everything that I've eaten the past few days has left my system. My cousin is doing this with me is constipated I wish I had that problem. I want to exercise but I feel like I would probably faint.

Aaah....hang in there. Induction flu is really different for everyone. However, if you've been around someone who's had the flu, I'd think that might be the culprit as well (just a thought ). Keep drinking your fluids and remember to not go more than 6 hours without eating something legal on the Induction list. You might even want to check your fiber intake as well if you're sensative to it that makes you "go" even more. That's why Induction is so great! You get to "feel" your way through seeing what works for your body and clean out your system at the same time!

Take care!

Day 3 and 4 of induction had me with the runs almost as soon as I ate it was back out the other end!!
It stopped on about day 5 and I've not really had any problems with it since if anything I've gone the other way and now only go maybe once every 3 days!

Oh the things we discuss online!!

I thought I was the only one who was in a constant state of "trotts"....I'm looking forward to the constipation.

Yes indeed...it was a blessed relief!! Both myself and my daughter suffered and I originally thought it was caused by eating too many eggs or the cream. We have both settled down now though...thankfully!

Hang in there! You will feel better soon! IMO, I wouldn't exercise until I felt better. I don't think you'll be feeling that bad in a couple of days, unless you have the real flu.

Sorry to hear you're having such a bad bout of induction flu, It can be a beast, but really it's good news. as it means your body is weaning itself away from carbs. Hang in there... soon you'll be feeling wonderful and have energy plus plus!
Keep up the fluids. That really helps.

Yep you are detoxing, getting rid of things...I went thru it, couldn't move, ran to the bathroom and I had the headache for 4 days...but on the other side I started to gain energy and clarity and a fresh feeling...and no more hunger and cravings and my bloodsugars stablized and I finally after years of being jerked around emotionally by the foods, felt calm and good!
It's worth hanging out in bed, and resting and drinking fluids because soon you will break free.

I don't have anything to add to what the others said, only wanted to tell you I'm sorry you have the ind-flu so bad and give you a

Thanks guys,

I feel so much better, I'm so proud of myself b/c I didn't fall of the wagon this weekend nor was I tempted. I got up early Saturday full of energy went grocery shopping to make sure that I had enough stuff around the house that I could cook to keep satisfied and it worked. I just feel great, I'm trying not to get back on that scale until 2/26 even though I will stay on induction for a while the 26th will be the first 14 days of it.
