Uggghhh!!! Induction flu?

[marilynshope]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to see if anyone has had induction "flu" as it has been called late into 14 day induction period ? This is my second time around, and I had it early on the first time. Im on day 11 and have been so completely faithful!! (Am proud of myself for that!!) But I have loss of appetite, weak, and to think of food makes me want to *yuck*! So I guess my question is.. is it normal to feel this way this far into it ??? Any support would be great !
Thanks !

Yeah I hear ya there ! This one has got me DOWN too ! I just dont remember having it so late in the Induction !!! Hang in there... I dont have the muscle pains, but I guess we can at least relate to the feeling !!!

Loss of appetite is a normal side effect of the diet. In fact, if you regain your old appetite while on Atkins, something is terribly wrong.

According to the book, the carb withdrawal symptoms "vary widely ranging from fatigue, faintness and palpitations to headache and cold sweats."

I felt like I had the flu.....my whole body ached.

Day 10 here and I'm still so tired I could fall asleep standing.
It's actually starting to cause problems at work because I can't keep my eyes focussed due to this fatigue
I'm now hoping for owl rung 1, more veggies
if that doesn't do the trick, I dunno what does.

I've found the best way to beat it is to work out...honestly!!
