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
