DAY3 & STRUGGLING

:cry:im on day 3 now and finding it hard everyday ive had a splitting headache which starts late afternoon till i go to bed and im having periods of severe tiredness and feeling ill, is this normal??

my brain keeps thining about the food in the kitchen and im constantly saying no to myself, itsa not easy i dont know if i can do this :sigh:

i tested my urine and the ketone test was a very light pink so think im just getting into ketosis?
think il change my mini goal to getting through one week!!

any help tips would be great

Hi ,
I am only new too , day 5!! in fairness i feel great so i have no complaints and no really good tips, i have headed up early and had a bath twice, something i never do !!I have also cooked and taugh about how fattening and greasy it was and that i was so lucky to not have to eat it ...yeah right haha!!
This time around i feel that for once in my life i am going to be skinny and really enjoy this summer, i have followed every diet going, after getn this far try ur best to continue it will be so worth it in the end and you will be glad you did

Its all normal

Hey, its my 1st day back on this diet, but when Ive done it before I suffered from headaches etc, but after day 3/4 they all go away and you should start to feel more energetic. Its just withdrawals symptoms from caffiene - aslong as you drink loads of water it should help!!

Oh and i havn't tested the wee and took the battery out of the weighing scales because i feel that if i have the 3 cartons ( all i use) my water and stick to it it will work and dont want to be put off by the colour of a piss stick r what the scales says(all different )xxx

I had that my first week on Atkins, we called it "Atkins Flu" it's caused by carb withdrawal if your on a Low Carb plan.

Oh and I should add it generally only last 2 or 3 days. If your not Low Carbing I'd see a Dr.

Hi and welcome. Good luck with CD. Have you had a look at the CD section yet?

Hi

I'm on day 3 of CD too. I had a bad headache last night and was in bed by 9. Slept really well and woke up headache free this morning. Altho I don't have a headache at the mo, just feel a bit groggy and lightheaded. Am hoping this gets better in a few days. Good luck x
