Welcome. Don't give up, it will get better. You are experiencing ketosis flu. Make sure you are getting your salt and water. Put some of the IP salt on your hand and and lick it off.Originally Posted by suda
I landed here today for some encouragement. I started IP on Thursday and am really struggling. #1 I have to choke down most of the packet food. There hasn't been one that I enjoy. #2 I have had a migraine since Friday. Are headaches normal? I am going to call my coach tomorrow to see if I can trade my packets in - hoping there is a drink I will like for breakfast and a bar for lunch. I don't want to give up!!!
Did they give you a sampling of packets to start off (that's what my clinic did). Some of them you will like others you won't. I use mostly drinks/shakes and a few other things. Seeing if they will trade some out is a good idea. Meanwhile try mixing them with your veggies or doctoring them up with allowed foods.
The first 3-5 days are the worst and then it gets much better.
Hang in there, you can do it.
