Hello sparky. I can sure hear your pain. I'm on Atkins but have read and think highly of the PPP book.

If you were doing Atkins Induction, I'd suggest that you add some carbs to make the transition easier for a few days. The yuck feelings usually are gone by Day 6 or 7. Have you thought that maybe you have the flu or the Norwalk virus? You CAN get sick while LCing.

Perhaps you could go to the higher level for a few days (55 grams) and then go back down to the Intervention (30 grams of carbs?) Then the transition will be easier. Since people can still lose successfully on the 55 gram level, you won't be setting yourself back. And if you are feeling better and suffering less, you are MUCH more likely to stick with the plan.

So be easy on yourself and have a few more of the veggie and salad carbs. Be sure you are getting the MINIMUM Protein amounts and good fats.

all the best.
