 Re: New to Atkins!! Help! I'm feeling bad!!!! Hi Peaches and welcome to ADBB! You're probably suffering from what we call induction flu. It's very common and is when your body goes into withdrawal from carbs, at the beginning. After a few days you should begin to feel wonderful, with much more energy than you had before. Hang in there! It's soooo worth it!

| Re: New to Atkins!! Help! I'm feeling bad!!!! Embrace your atkins flu, the worse it is the less likely you will be to go off plan and face that again! Mine was really bad and it really did help keep me on track!
