atkins- induction question

[njcarita]

i started atkins yesterday and I feel awful today!!!!

i'm assuming i am going thru sugar withdrawl-

i am nauseas , horrible headache, etc.

How long does this generally last????

You will start to feel better by the end of this week. And by the end of next week you will feel TERRIFIC! It is such a great feeling to have your 'hunger' feeling GONE! Stick with it --- it is well worth it.

Try eating a protein source [small serving] about every hour or two today. It really does seem to help get you thru the first week.

So sorry about your headache! You WILL feel better! Also, drink lots of water, get some rest if you feel you need to! You will make it through, and have success!! Stick with the plan and keep coming here for help!!

Welcome...you will be feeling better with each day...and really good in a week or so.

Whatever you do don't give up!!!

My first 2/3 days on Atkins were dreadful............migraine, nausea, irritability etc etc etc

I never thought I'd manage to make it through 2 weeks. However I was determined (nothing else had worked ) so this HAD to.

Now I am at the end of Induction and am truly amazed at how much better i feel. I am just not hungry.

I am/was a complete chocoholic and never went a day (hour) without having a fix of cadburys. Problem was I couldn't stop once I'd started.

Guess what happened last night ?

My daughter was eating some Dairy Milk and offered me one square. I thought I'd have it (a weak moment ) . Well I started to eat it and ...............didn't like the taste and spat it out into the bin !!!

OMG......I can't believe it myself...

So whether I will always feel like this I really don't know but it'll do me just now ..


Please ask anything you need to know on these boards. Everyone is so kind and supportive and have helped me this far.

I really appreciate all the encouragement - I was so ready to quit day one - because of how badly i felt- but i figured since all you stuck thru it- i could to!!!!!
