HI, Sorry to hear you feel so bad.Are you drinking enough water??? How about spicey foods are you eating them??Could you be eating too many veggies or too much salad?? All of these could cause problems like you described.I hope this helps you out.

Please tell us EXACTLY what you're eating.

I felt like total shat for about 15 days. I almost went to the doctor. Towards the end of it I chugged water and quit all caffeine. I feel normal now but can't say I feel super energetic. At least I don't feel sick. I don’t think there is enough stuff in my day to make me energetic.

are you sure you havent picked up a bug?

If you've lost a lot of water very quickly, you might need to take a potassium supplement. The body goes through a lot of changes initially, and it's common to feel bad, but it should stop after a few days. Make sure you are taking a multivitamin.

I am eating strictly by the book. The cleanest of clean. I have done induction before so I know exactly what I should and should not be eating. I cook all my own food so, if anything is questionable then I don't eat it. Eggs, chicken, salad, beef, a little mayo here and there. I think it was the eggs though because I haven't eaten them yesterday and today and I have felt much better. I am drinking 100 oz water a day.

How do you define "salad".

You need 12-15 net carbs from vegetables. Lettuce won't get you there.

Rather than a pill, eat an avocado. 877 mg. of potassium per fruit.

And be sure you are eating. This is not a diet. Have you put your foods in FitDay?

Sorry, I forgot to add the vegetables to my previous post. But, yes I do the veggies straight from the induction list. I appreciate all your help but I think I'm over the bout of sickness. I still feel a little weak but Im feeling much better now.

Guess what, I had food poisoning the whole time, I bought eggs from the supermarket last Friday and they were bad. I just so happened to look at the date on the box and they were dated 2/6/07. Man did I get the short end of the stick I wonder if anyone else got some too. Its crazy. I took the eggs back and they tried to give me more eggs but I refused them. I just told them not to let it happen again. They offered to pay for my Dr. bill but because I didn't go to the doctor they couldn't. They gave me a gift certificate for $100.00 instead. Boy did I learn my lesson, I'll always check dates before I buy from now on. I usually do but I was in a rush that day so poor me huh?
The eggs tasted good though.

Oh man that is so gross! I'm glad you are feeling better. I need to go check my eggs...
