Thanks Lori! i just hope my TOM happens. so many here get all the symtoms and nothing ever happens? i know that i am not in ketosis. plus my body feels like it is hanging on to all body volume for dear life!! i get a light energetic feeling when i am burning fat. and my face is HUGE!! i do have a problem with very high cortisol. doc thinks i have cushings. i start and stop this induction almost everyday since june. i think no carbs at first is a major stressor to my body and so i overproduce cortisol and then insulin kicks in to counter act the cortisol and i cant get into ketosis. i will stay at it for 7-10 days and see what happens??? i am starving!! still!!
