Starting again...for the last time

[sarah.N.C]

Hey all,
I posted a few weeks ago that I was starting, but the migraine I got quickly threw me off track. However, I'm BACK, and have been faithfully following induction since Thursday. I was so worried I would get that god-awful headache again, but I only had two days of slight headaches, and now I feel WONDERFUL. I wanted to wait a few days to post so I could make sure that I could get through the period of headaches, and I MADE IT!!
My body is responding very well. I was in ketosis by the second day, I have a ton of energy, and I am almost NEVER hungry!! So far, no REAL cravings (unbelieveable for me!!) I was even tempted yesterday with cake, icecream, and pizza, but I was able to eat my steak and salad and be MORE than happy!!
I did, however, have a dream about drinking a chocolate shake...in it I was SOO ashamed of myself!! How funny!!
Only one problem: I have been having pretty terrible diahreeaha (SP??)
Do you guys have any suggestions?
P.S- Drinking over 8 cups of water a day and excersicing daily
Thank You for reading and any suggestions,
Sarah

Sarah,

Congrats are in order! You are doing great, and the bowel issue is a given in the first week. Happened to me, also. It's kind of a detox system that your body goes through. I also had achy-ness, fever, chills...kind of like the flu, which is common. Just keep hydrated, and stay cheat-free, and you will be amazed at how well you feel!

Good luck! Can't wait to see you shrink!

Psyllium Husks...get it at GNC or another vitamin place. Buy it in natural form, looks like saw dust. Put 1-3 tablespoons in a glass of water or juice, mix, and drink once a day or put it in a shake. Psyllium is supposed to help diarhea and constiptation, it's like a cure for any bowel problems....also people take it as an appetite suppressent.

It may take a day or two to give results. Good luck!

Hi there! Welcome to the board

Getting migranes is not fun, especially if you've been carbohydrate dependent. I wish you comfort during those times.

Best wishes!
