Hi, I'm new

Hi, :wave:

I am doing Atkins Induction but eating under 30g carbs per day , I am on Day 6 and have lost 5lbs so far.

I guess I am looking for some support and friendly advice when I need it, and I'm sure I will. I don't have any support at home and am actually feeling really down and low at the moment. I have one family member around but when I told her of my weight loss she said 'well it's going to take more than that' and said she couldn't see where it had come from. Do others get the same response from people?

I think I am doing well and managing to be healthy, I'm getting lots of veg and taking vitamins and GLA. I didn't get Induction 'flu', just a slight headache, some toilet changes and feel quite sensitive and touchy, is this normal?

I am definitely in ketosis, I stink lol Bad breath, horrible metallic taste in my mouth and a sweat smelling body odour. It's a good thing I live alone and it's nice to know I'm in ketosis but please tell me these effects don't last.

I think if I'm going to be successful I need a friend or two for support along the way :)
