Feeling Nauseous

  • I am on day 4 of an IP Alternative Program - I did IP for a few months (the full program) a couple of years ago, but had to stop due to some personal reasons.

    At any rate. I am doing the program, just not buying the products from IP, I am using the EAS shakes in stead.

    The last couple of days I have felt nauseous usually around the late morning and through the end of the day. I wake up feeling fine, but then slowly start to feel worse. I am drinking more than enough water.

    I am not sure if I am just catching a bug or if this is related to the change in diet. I know that I am not in ketosis, so am wondering if that is the reason. Looking for any insight.

    Thanks!
  • Are you on any diabetes meds? When I first started IP, I was on metformin and was nauseated for a month before I was told to stop the med. Might be worth checking your blood sugar just in case. My nausea resolved itself within a day of stopping the med.
  • i was feeling nauseous a couple of weeks ago while on the plan...but i think it had to do with the BC that i had just started taking. have you started/stopped any meds?
  • Make sure you are getting your salt in, take 1/4 tsp of salt lick it then drink water your BP and electrolytes are low more than likely
  • I'd checked out the EAS shakes too, but no amino acids are listed on the labels. You may want to be sure you're getting these as well.
  • I found that the high protein made me nauseous for awhile. Got better tho
  • I was nauseous for a good week when I started IP. Somedays I still am, depends on a few different things for me - The IP soups make me ill, if I take my supplements too soon before a meal OR wait to long to eat after I have taken them, if I eat out and they sneak the odd bit of dairy into food. You might want to try a different brand of shake or try and stick it out a few more days
