When I did induction I didnt lose weight at all the first week. Talk about discouraging! and I had plenty to lose. I had a bit of hypoglycemia, but I was hypoglycemic to begin with. I had horrible headaches and I was constantly dizzy and tired. That all went away after the first week and I started doing much better.

I was a super sick carb addict sugar junkie. I didnt drink any diet drinks or have splenda on induction (I hated the aftertaste... funny how now I dont notice it)

My mother finally agreed to start as well, and is having a hard time, because she feels she needs a sweet taste in her mouth and then overdoes it. I think cutting out anything sweet for a while might help some and I think L-Glutamine is supposed to help some too.

Also salty foods like bacon and lunch meats tend to make me hungrier, she might want to cut back on thise and up the water intake or squeeze a bit of lemon into water and drink that instead of plain water if it can get her off the diet drinks.

I wish her luck!
