I am not sure how much more I can take of this!

Is it normal to be going to the bathroom every 15 minutes??? LOL I haven't stopped since I started Atkins! What is even more weird is I was so nauseous last night, like really sick to my stomach, so I took some Mylanta gel caps and went to bed...I woke up this morning with energy and I wasn't sick at all! I can't believe how just sitting here, usually I would be snacking on something while DIS'ing, but today I am not even tempted to get something! LOL

Anyway, back to the original point of this post Um, is this a "normal" thing to happen?

Thanks

Beanie, are you drinking a lot of water??

If so, it's just the water you're drinking and your body is flushing out excess water (I'm up 2-3 times a night).

Yes, Kelsie, I drink tons of water daily! I have only drank water for 3 days now!

It is funny that you say you are up at night because I just noticed this morning that when I woke up, I really had to use the bathroom first thing, which is VERY rare for me...usually I can take a shower and brush my teeth before even having the urge! LOL

Yes, it is normal but your body will regulate and adjust to the extra water --- and then the potty breaks should be less frequent.

I love the fact that I just don't get hungry with this way of eating. I eat good healthy foods too! Tonite we went out to eat at a local steak shop. I would have normally had a big burger/fries or steak/baked potatoe BUT I was very satisfied with a side salad and crock of onion soup (minus the croutons). I had a bite of DH steak --- and would have liked one of DS chicken wings but he wouldn't share.

This is all that I've eaten today --- and I do not crave anything else (it is wonderful!):
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled with a slice of wa cheese
Lunch - 4 meatballs with melted provolone and onions
(yes, the meatballs did have some filler)
Dinner - Salad and onion soup
Tonite I plan on having some rootbeer with heavy cream.

Tomorrow I will work in much more veggies since I didn't have too many today.

Gotta Love this way!

Hang in there! Hopefully soon you will be able to "hold it" or just not have to go as frequently! Good luck!

Jody - mmm! Your menu is yummy!!!!

I'm glad to hear that you are drinking lots of water, Bean.

Ketogenic diets can also have a diuretic effect so if you don't drink your water you could get dehydrated which is not good.

I'm so proud of you for drinking lots of water, you won't have to go so often pretty soon.
