Hi there everyone,

Well im onday 2 of induction and so far it goes ok, although my cravings are really driving me mad, but one thing is that im feeling so tired.I cant seem to do anything proactive.Im getting over a bad case of flu so i know that doesnt help but it making me feel really down as i have so much study to do as im in my final few months on my degree.There no way i can exercise feeling this tired.Anyone got any tips for me.I would appreciate the help.

You probably have 'Induction Flu', or carb withdrawal symptoms. Drink your water, take your multivitamins, and wait it out.

For your cravings, drink water, wait a half-hour and see if the water quenches your cravings. If not, eat a high fat and protein snack.

Hang in there.

take it easy in the first week...light exercise when you can...drink lots of water to keep your system hydrated...eat every couple of hours to help boost up your energy(cheese, eggs, turkey roll ups, etc), take your vitamins and get rest when you can...it will get better I promise...hang in there.

Also try either the weight smart, or carb smart Vitamins. They tend to give me energy......Usually by the 3rd or 4th day you feel better!

This is great advice, and I'm glad you mentioned "carb withdrawl" because I know this is what I must be going through right now. After years of abuse, my body looks for it, I know its going crazy and the side effect is being tired. Thanks not2late, that helped me too :hug
