I have no issue sticking with the plan and I have no desire to cheat. But I do have the desire to feel like myself and be a good mom.
Every morning I have to search the web for inspiration to stay on this diet. And every night I go to bed with a headache. I do not cheat so I don't know why the headache thing hasn't passed yet. I keep hearing that ketosis suppresses the appetite, but this hasn't been my experience. I'm feeling so disheartened.
Any advice? Encouragement?
TIA!

I've done IP on and off for almost 2 years now and this feeling I'm afraid will not go away anytime soon. Some days I feel amazing, most days I feel like I want to sleep all the time. No amount of pills,salt,pickles help me. I figure it's harder to be overweight than to feel like this, so I choose to stick with it for now.
I also don't work right now which helps tremendously. When I was working I would literally fall asleep at my desk during my breaks.
but if I decide to even bend down for a brief period of time, I also feel light headed.
