Catters, are you taking your supplements / vitamins and getting your water in? The nausea you mention could be detoxing from the carbs - it effects many of us differently. Often it's accompanied by a headache and fatigue - a sign that along with the water weight you're losing you're also losing potassium and sodium.

A good multi vitamin, a calcium / magnesium supplement (from chelated minerals) some potassium (either in pill format or from a product like 'nusalt' or 'morton's light salt') and at least 2 litres of water a day will help you feel better.

SF pudding is OK if you're doing Protein Power - but in moderation. The idea is to get those sugars out of your body and change your desire for them. Some of us find that eating the fake sugars makes us want the real thing. If you were doing Atkins then the pudding would not be ok, as most are made with aspartame and that is not permitted on Induction. (FYI, Induction is not part of Protein Power).

You might want to pull out your copy of PP and give yourself a little refersher course - the book should be your closest companion over the next few weeks.

Hope you're feeling better soon,
Nat
