i feel horrible today

happyone · 06-08-2007, 06:02 PM

i had the runs three times today, i couldn't figure why my car wouldn't shift into reverse (duh, i forgot to step on the break), i have had a headache since 12pm, i feel nauseated, i felt like fainting when i stepped out of my car (too much air?)...and now i'm laying here like a blob

my appetite is completely gone, any thought of eating anything oily, cheesy, or meaty makes me feel like vomit. I did eat a nectarine 2 hours ago to calm my nausea...but i still feel like horrible.

I'm sorry

Trust it will get better tho. I felt terrible my first week or so. But then you feel SO MUCH better. More so than when you started, definitely.
KUTGW!

Induction flu is what happens when the body switches from burning carbs to burning fat for fuel. That said, it's rougher on some people than others. When I get induction flu it knocks me flat on my butt for three days. You sound like you have it as bad!

The good news? The harsher the changeover, the better you are going to feel in just a couple of days!

thanks everyone!

actually, i'm on my 5th week of atkins. I'm about 5 pounds from my goal weight, so i've added brown rice, fruits, and more veggies into my diet (for the last 2 weeks). I seriously don't know what's the matter with me today.

i made the one minute flax seed muffin yesterday, and whenever i think about that today, i start to feel sick
