Hi.

I'm on my 5th day of induction on the Adkins diet and have completely lost my appetite. Has this happened to anybody else and should I force myself to eat even though I'm not hungry?

    It happens because we are so satiated with fat. I say don't force yourself to eat, maybe some bone broth for sodium & minerals.

    I found the same but quickly learned i had to eat my target or i failed to have enough energy to push hard at the gym which defeated part of the object of the exersize !

    I noticed this too when I was first starting out...but I was more nauseous without an appetite. I still made myself eat...I chose stuff that felt indulgent like heavy cream, cheese, bacon, etc. Soon enough it was over! Hope you're feeling better now if it was keto flu like me!
