I haven't taken any Vitamin C, but one of the perks of being unemployed is if you feel "bad" (or just feel like it) you can just go to sleep whenever you want. So, I've been doing a lot of that, which probably mitigates the effects somewhat. On the topic of alcohol, my living situation makes it nearly impossible to not end up having a drink, so being a realist, I'm fixing to go to Spec's and get some liquor to replace the beer with. Vodka/soda or maybe just some quality bourbon/whiskey straight up.

Not everyone has a tough time getting into ketosis. My first time I felt bad the third night but that was it. I don't have it bad, a little weakness and feeling claims. Some people feel just awful. You may be more like me than some others. Lack of focus can definitely be a sign if accompanied by some general lack of energy.

I've been in and out of induction for almost 3 years and I don't think I've ever had the induction flu.

The waste factory gets a bit slow and needs a kick every now and then, but never sick stomach.

It actually went away like 3 hours ago. I just drank a bunch of water and it more or less dissipated. Who knows. Doing good though, had leftover broccoli/mushroom casserole for lunch and a chicken salad with half an avocado, half a tomato, some bacon, and the redneck's favorite (ranch). No drinks.

Damn Ice Cream gain is sticking to the ribs. I need a miracle to get back to my weight from last week for the contest weigh-in.

Debating whether to stick with a Cadfast today. Got lunch in thirty minutes and I'm starving. I think I'm going to try and listen to my body more when it comes to the cadfasts. Some days I can fast and I don't really get hungry at all until near the end. Whereas there are days like today where it's 10:15 in the morning and I'm starving.

Here's a good article for you guys that are on plateaus. There's nothing in here that you didn't already know but it is all sensible and a good reminder.

What is your resting metabolic rate?

that's something you should find out. it's good to know how many calories you burn simply by doing nothing. the range can be pretty big depending on age, height, weight and BMI.
