I need help please!!! Day 3

[SLIM QUEST]

Hello Everyone...

Hope all is well... I am on my third day, I have lost 5 pounds but have started feeling weak, tired, shaky, nervious, dizzy and plan yuk,,, felt overly full, couldn't eat anything felt as though my blood sugar was low... heart beating fast... ect... I felt like I needed to eat some carbs so I could get the feeling to stop... I didn't do it... but I finally was able to get my lunch down... has anybody ever felt like this? what is the best thing to do to prevent those kinds of feelings? I really want to stay with this but I need some help on this... There was a seperate time this evening when my stomach felt as though it was really empty like I was starving this time... but I had just eaten somehting about hour before... felt stuffed but same sort of sensations as early today... went away after I ate something... is there anything I can do? It was a bit scary... Tell me about your experiences...
Thank you for your help...

Best regards, SLIMQUEST

I believe this sounds like the flu like symptoms that some people get when they are first starting out.
I know Dr. Atkins talks about it in the book and I've heard about it elsewhere too, so you might want to check it out. There's lots of places online that talk about it.
The good news is that it apparently goes away fairly quickly.
You said your b/s was low, that could cause those symptoms but should go away with a boiled egg and some cheese.

It really does sound like Atkins Flu. Try to keep your fluid intake going and make sure to eat even a little piece of something every few hours. It will pass in a day or two and a tremendous amount of energy will follow.

It really does get better.
