Angry Tom

Hi All!

I am on day 8 of induction and yesterday I got TOM. What should I expect as far as weight loss during this time? Has anyone done anything they can share that helped during this time? I saw a couple of references to a 'Whoosh" reaction??

Another question I have is, has anyone wiened themselves off of anxiety medication and taken any of Dr. Atkins suggestions in his book, "Dr. ATkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution" instread. What have you taken and how has it worked??

Thanks for any advice or help.

Blessings-
Kathy

Well, women usually retain water just before TOM and sometimes if they are lucky, they will lose that retained water after TOM is over and maybe a bit more. It's not guarenteed but if you are just starting out it seems to be more likely to happen then if you are closer to goal or been at it a long time.

I read Vita Nutrients Solution from the library a long time ago, but have never needed any of his alternative treatments. Maybe someone else has some experience with that.
