Sorry another question(!) - when people say 1st few days are hard...

[JacksonsMum]

Everyone says the first few days are hard but I'm wondering what it is about it that's hard.

I assumed it would be the hunger but at the end of day 1 I just feel nauseous, tired and like I'm coming down with something (oh, and the headache too).

Is this normal? Feel quite...odd!

 

[BordersGirl]

Yes, it's definitely normal and due to carb withdrawal. It will pass though in the first week.

 

[JacksonsMum]

thank you! that's what I was hoping to hear ; ) xxx

Some people do feel very hungry some don't. As BG said carb withdrawal can be hard. Often day 3 or 4 is difficult but most people are in ketosis by day 5.

yep day 3 and 4 are the killers for me... headache that would kill any man, no energy.. urgh. Luckily it passes quickly, although I do have the odd day of no energy now and again but the headaches go as long as you drink lots of water
