 Re: What were your symptoms? Each person is different. I always got diarrhea the first couple of weeks into this woe. But, there are also intestinal bugs going around, and that could be causing the nausea and other unpleasant symptoms. Headaches could also be detox, or could be something else. Just hang in there for a while, you'll feel better in a few days, probably. It's wonderful that you have others right there for support!

| Re: What were your symptoms? When I got off the sugar and caffine it felt like the flu for 3 days and I really did not feel "normal" for about 2 weeks. The discomfort from the detox was well worth the results. Stick with it your feel better in no time. |

 Re: What were your symptoms? At three-four days in, I had headaches and an overall feeling of unwellness. I actually upped my carb intake (with the RIGHT carbs) and it helped me get over it. I believe it's the transition into ketosis that causes the symptoms. Once you're in the "purple," all those symptoms will fade. Plus, you'll be thrilled with the energy you have. (No more post-prandial stupor!) My recs are to drink a lot of water and take a fiber suppliment (on top of your normal multi-vitamin). Then everything will come out all right

| Re: What were your symptoms? Hi PQ, for me the headaches were the worst. Are you doing strict induction? And are you cutting out coffee too? That's lot for your system to handle. Be sure you are taking your vitamins and minerals.

| Re: What were your symptoms? I had no particular adverse symptoms ...other than raving cravings for sweets. Then, someone kindly clued me into to Splenda and some LC legal treats.
