 Re: New to this and alot of weight to lose LOL, Ill bet if you do a search on Induction flu you will get over a 1000 hits. Take some over the counter asprine or tylonal, pamper yourself and it will be gone in the morning.

| Re: New to this and alot of weight to lose Chubby, Welcome to the club. Almost everyone has induction flu. Some have it worse than others, but most people do have it. Heck, I would be more surprised if a person did not have it. My husband had it for a week and he was a BEAR! It will pass; just stick with the plan. We are all here to help. Welcome! Deb Quote:

| Re: New to this and alot of weight to lose Welcome to  I am also fairly new to this lifestyle and had this same problem when I first began. The first 3-4 days were total misery consisting of massive headaches, stomach cramps, and diarrehea...uggh...it was terrible! I honestly didn't know if I would make it! But I did...and you will too! Just try to stay positive and remember that it will pass and you will have some wonderful side effects as a result....weightloss and loss of appetite! Woohoo!  Good luck to ya! I hope to see you around the boards soon!

| Re: New to this and alot of weight to lose First welcome to ADBB! We all started from somewhere, and unfortunately for most of us it starts with Induction flu. It is our body adjusting to the new Way of Eating and burning off the rest of the glycogen in your muscles. The actual physical symptoms should cease in a day or two (3-4 days at max) because your body should adjust to ketosis by then. I had a case of Induction flu bad, but mine was more mental. It lasted about 2-3 weeks at least. I lost most of my old comfort foods, but guess what I soon learned new comfort foods, like a mock danish or the joy of eating fajitas or steaks again. Eventually, eating low carb was not an imposition to be overcome but just the way I ate. Keep drinking your water (it helps a lot), and keep reminding yourself of the reason you are doing this in this first place (you want to look good, lose weight, get into an outfit, whatever). In two weeks, I guarantee you will be feeling better than you are today. Quote:
