I'm sick :(

  • I have finished day two and am feeling sick!! I feel like I am always going to get sick. My mouth is watering all the time.... Is this normal?
  • Have you reviewed the ingredients in the packages you are eating? Perhaps you are allergic to something. There are a few members here who have issues with soy.
    I was having a major sick day yesterday, Showgirl suggested some ginger tea to help with the nauseau...that did the trick for me.

    Feel better soon!
  • I am not using packets from IP. I got my information from my mom who has been doing IP for over 5 months.
    Anyways, I am not allergic to anything. I seem to feel a little better on and off and no particular time but when I feel sick it is awful. It is like I have the flu.(Tummy feeling)

    I will try some tea.... I hope this doesn't last long.

    Thanks for your help..
  • If it is day two, you are probably starting to shift into ketosis and having a drop in blood sugar. Are you drinking plenty of water? You should be getting at least 80 ounces. You can do herb tea or water to help you out a bit.

    The tummy feeling is normal for some people during the first week.
  • Can I sub?
    On day 3 and still feeling sick, heck I'm feeling even worse.. I am hoping that I get better soon. The smell of food, or my protein makes my tummy turn. Heck even talking about food does.

    I am curious, is anyone out there not using IP packets that think it would be OK to sub my lunch shake with a lean protein.. I know that is a different phase but I think my body needs/wants a little more food, not just a shake.

    Any ideas??

    Thanks
