Does anyone know anything about this? I've never heard it mentioned before today. I tried asking but it's not for public consumption apparently.

Beats me! I understand that low-carbing makes you healthier and lowers bGs but not that it can make you ill. 'Must be some mistake' as the saying goes.

I thought that low carb was a dietary thing and flu was a virus. Have I got that wrong ...........again

Thanks. I think Paul-1976 said that a person should be careful about flipping between ketosis and the other one which I can't pronounce or spell. That doesn't sound like a once-off thing.

I think it means that constantly bouncing between low level ketosis and non ketosis messes up your metabolism and makes you feel naff and a bit flu like.
angieG and Thommothebear have got it right; it's unpleasant feelings you get as the body gets used to low carbing.
It's not really flu, or any other virus, just a group of symptoms that feel a bit like flu.

What illnesses have you got in mind Gezza ?
I thought that I was responding to Paul-1976 who was the person who coined the phrase 'flu', or am I going mad? What does everyone else think? Paul_1976 you must agree that this is a totally despicable mis-representation of the discussion, don't you?
