Sorry you feel bad....it will get better.

When I first started I was sick for almost the whole induction period....nausea, fatique and a horrible headache....then one day it was GONE!

Hang in there!!!

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing these symptoms. They will go away within a day or two. If not you may want to visit your doctor.

It may help to:

drink at least 100 oz. of water
use a multi-vitamin
eat small frequent meals that are on plan, ie chicken soup, chicken/tuna salad, cheese, meatballs, celery and cream cheese...

Please keep us updated on your progress.

If you mean as in urinating, it's a side effect for some. First time ever doing Atkins...about 2 days in and I needed to go almost every hour. Dr. Atkins wrote about this side-effect in DANDR. HTH (hope this helps)
