EATING SALAD!!!!

The first day I haven't dreaded my lunch.. I think it's setting in!!

Sweet deal!! I feel awesome that all of us are right on track. Monday's do suck, but we will get through it.

As for me, right now. Holy snazz!! I think I'm experiencing induction flu like no freaking other. I have this huge headache that feels like that kind of headache you get when you are hung over? Is that what it's supposed to feel like or what? Because this is the first time I've actually experienced induction flu like this. Meep!!!

Can't really concentrate right now and I kinda have to pee? Lol. I'm doing good so far, though. My partner isn't here yet, so I'm just sitting around and relaxing. =)

Oh mAAn the headache!!! I thought mine was from the horrible weather we have here right now, but I do believe its a feed-me-sugar headache.

What grocery store did you work at before, Esteliana?

I felt terrible after indulging (binging)on the 4th, and uncomfortably full. I made a comment to my fiance about how I am satisfied, and not overly full on atkins. I was so full I was in pain on the 4th! He then asked why did I indulge? I don't know. Not very smart.

I'm with ya. 2nd day of clean induction.

I worked at Vons (Safeway) and then I ended up working at Ralphs where they stuck me on night crew and there was candy there and everything, so I would munch on it while stocking shelves. Lol. Good times.

Headache feels like I have a hangover. It's really weird. Augh, don't like it one bit. =(

I guess I'm just extremely lucky, I've never gotten the atkins flu.

[missnikki217]

I had that happen .... once LoL

I've never lost so much weight so fast in my life as that time that I had no induction flu.. it was crazy!

Hi everyone,

Today is my first day on the Atkins diet so I look forward to this journey with the rest of you. I was so shocked when I saw this thread and to see so many others starting the same time as myself. I was hoping to find some kind of support because I catch major **** from my mother who I would think would be the biggest supporter of my life. I'm even more shocked to see that I am not the only one suffering from a terrible headache. I usually don't get them but I got one today, a really bad one. It's almost like my body is having a fit because it knows, no more sweet sweets. I thought it was from stress. Well, for breakfast I ate a turkey bacon, sauted onion, and cheese omlette and that held me all day. For lunch I had a grilled chicken salad (I hate salad). Tonight I'll do a veggie medley and probably chicken again. I'm not a big red meat eater.

Happy low carbing everyone!

lean protein like chicken/fish is way better for you than red meat anyway. The fat in red meat assists in belly fat production. Better to get your fats in through good fats.
