Welcome Tom!

I am new myself, on day 10, and have gone through all the newbie symptoms. So if you need any help or advice, I will be happy to help! Everyone here is nice, so feel free to ask any question!

[Tom_Claridge]

What are the things I can expect to feel during my 14 day 'trial' if you will?

[lovebunnyok]

If you are like some people, you will get what is called 'induction flu'.

Basically you feel run down, and some people (like me) experience some nausea. It's due to your body detoxing off of sugar and moving into ketosis.

I cannot say its the best feeling in the world, but once you move through it you have energy like never before! My house is getting sooooo clean!

You should get some keytone sticks to test if you have started ketosis. Ketosis is your body switching from burning fat instead of carbs. You can usually find the sticks in the diabetes section of the pharmacy.

Wow! This is the most I have said on the forum. Anyone, please jump in and let me know if I have any of it wrong, and what else may needed to be added.

Good Luck Tom!! Let us know how it goes!

[Tom_Claridge]

I appreciate your help. I shall get those sticks!~ ugh, I want a nice chewy roll from my kitchen right now ><; ...haha

Eat something with protein when you are craving carbs. If you do that, soon your body wont want the carbs!

[Tom_Claridge]

I had had some roast beef, two slices of cheddar, a spoon ful of corn, and a spoon full of spinach x3 feeling better already!

[lovebunnyok]

Sorry to tell you this, but corn is a no-no on induction. It has too many carbs in it!

[Tom_Claridge]

I thought we were allowed 20 carbs? I ate less than a single serving, which was only 16..and the small bit of spinach was 3. Only carbs I had today.

I figured that was alright >.>;
