That Atkins products fast sounds like an advertising ploy to me! Seems pretty expensive and LOADed with artificial sugar. Who knows, though?
Miscrapper (lovely name by the way ) headaches and naseau ARE common during Induction... especially (for me) day 3! I've done an induction twice, the second time after a pizza and ramen filled hangover fiasco, and day 3 killed me both times. It's generally a withdrawal from carbs and possibly caffeine if you're giving that up too. Stick it out... it gets much better.
JamesG , the Fat Fast is detailed in Dr. A's New Diet Revolution. It's basically a 1000 a day quick boost that's something like 90% fat. Five small meals of 200 calorie fat fests. Included are foods like cream cheese, macadamia nuts, fresh oil, and eggs, I believe. Meant to start ketosis in metabolically resistent folks who can't seem to lose on 20 carbs a day.
