Low Carb Flu and progress

I haven't been on in ten days to blog.  I wanted to, but this low carb flu and other side effects of changing my diet are killing me.  I really feel like I have the flu.  I did lose 6lbs since I last wrote.  So thats something.  I can't say that I stuck to the diet completely. I just couldn't take it.  The upped protein helped some, but I have done more research and have learned that maybe a healthy fat like avocado would have worked better.  So back at it.  Hopefully I can kick the brown rice I have been using for relief.  Its not much rice at all, but it made it so my head wasn't splitting!  I have avocados (which I love) and nuts for my healthy filler fats.  I'm back in the game to try and rid myself of grains.  I am hoping with all the wisdom I gained from Mark's Daily Apple I can do this.  There are so many succes stories on his site.  I would love to look back in X amount of months and be able to add my own story.  I hope someday to own his book.  He talks about a way of life that he calls the "Primal Blueprint".  Its not Paleo, but I believe that its probably better than Paleo in that healthy fats are encouraged and it embraces lifestyle change also and not just diet.  So I guess I would like to change my 30 day Paleo Challenge to a 30 day Primal Challenge and really try to embrace a healthier lifestyle.  I do have to acknowledge that despite all the icky feeling I have seen good side effects too.  Since I have come as close as possible to being Primal I have noticed a surge in energy.  I am getting off of my butt and doing things that I don't normally have the energy to do.  If I can kick this headache and body aches I feel like I would unstoppable.  I am going to be able to keep my house cleaner, play with my kids more, have more time and energy for my husband, and greatest of all have time for myself and my pursuits.  I can't wait to get past this funk and reap the full benefits of this lifestyle.
