Can't get past feeling "sick"
Hello! I began Atkins gung-ho back in June, lost 8 pounds within 10 days, was entering into ketosis and then started feeling light-headed and weak, kinda that floaty feeling. I tolerated it for a day or so, but then in desparation at a ball game I ate a hamburger, fries and a coke and within the hour felt normal. I drifted for several weeks, started Atkins again, and the same thing happened. I re-read the induction phase chapter and then came across the paragraph about losing weight too quickly can cause those feelings and to add some nuts to my diet. I figured third time's a charm and started the induction phrase yet again with a serving of nuts each day, only to experience the same dizziness, light-headedness, etc. as before.
If this is normal and you-all can tell me it WILL pass and that I'll feel better eventually (maybe after my body adjusts??), then I'll stick with it this time. Please help!! I desperately need to be healthy and get rid of this weight and lower my cholesteral and triglycerides. Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks!!
