Feeling Yucky!

I'm into day 3 now, and feeling kind of yuck. I've been fairly lightheaded and drowsy. Is this common, and if so, how long will it last?

Yes, it's pretty common; it's your metabolism switching over from carb-burning to fat-burning. It usually lasts about a week. Some people find that extra potassium and a cal-mag supplement help.

I felt nasty for about 3 days starting on the 3rd day. Hang in there. Drink water.

Hang in there CrazyMom!

I know exactly what you're feeling, I had the same thing when I first started (with a headache too). But keep the faith. When it does go away, you're going to feel fantastic!

Thanks guys. The woozy feeling not as strong today, but did wake up with a awful headache. Of course, that could be the tropical storm hanging over FL this week. Hurts the sinuses. My biggest dilemma today will be ignoring the birthday cake tonight for my son's birthday. But, I'll manage.
