OMG, did anyone else feel this horrible??

[frixus_noctura]

i'm on day 8, and i was so weak this morning i could barely stand without feeling like i'm going to pass out. i have NO energy whatsoever, I constantly have felt drained, and I feel like my body is purging every last ounce of sustanance I put into it. Is this normal for the "introduction flu"?

i know what your going through...eat something and make sure it has some fat in it. Then tough it out! It will pass. The next stage is an amzing burst of energy!

[frixus_noctura]

just as long as this is normal, cuz wow. i've never felt so bad in my life!! thank u

[msanjelpie]

how many calories are you having each day?

[frixus_noctura]

well, since i've been feeling this way i can hardly even look at food without gagging. and it seems like it's coming out faster than i can put it in...... ew....
but for calories, i think i'm getting enough. i haven't counted at all. is there a certain amount i should be eating?

You should use fitday.com. It'll pass.

[msanjelpie]

It depends on your sex, your height and weight. But if you aren't getting enough calories you can get very weak and lethargic...

i'm burning almost twice as much as i'm taking in. good or bad?

[ziggy]

if you truely are burning twice as much as your takeing in then you gotta eat more

eat chicken skin and less of the chicken meat for now

eat eggs

eat butter

you gotta eat alot of fat so it encourages your body to switch to a fat burning metabolism

try and aim for 65% fat 30% protein 5% carbs

you must eat more calories than you burn
but really just eat lots of fat for now you dont really need to worry about calories if you burn to many you will get hungry and eat more

Please post a menu. Lots of folks think they are following this plan correctly and feel lousy. Sometimes a simple correction in the diet can turn things around. So please post a sample day's food so we can have a look.
