Hi all.
I'm new to this group and I have a question.
I started Atkins two months ago and lost about 40 lbs. We went on
vacation last week and I backslid into carbs again, but I went right
back into induction when we got back.
The first time on induction, I felt just like I had the flu on the
Wednesday after starting induction on a Sunday night. It was short
lived, but I felt like [censored]. I passed it off as a virus. But the
second time when I felt the same on Wednesday after starting the
previous Sunday night, I am wondering if it was the "induction flu" I
have been reading about. Both times it lasted around 8 hours.
It felt JUST LIKE I had the flu! I had a slight headache and felt very
weak and shaky, but my major symptom was the chills. I just could not
get warm. The only thing I can really compare it with was when I had
Type-A Flu about ten years ago, except I didn't have the fever.
Both times I felt great afterwards on Thursday and my energy level went
back up. If that is what I have to look forward to when I cheat, I
know I'll never backslide again.
