I have felt awful all day. Well, almost all day. We woke up and worked out at 5:30 a.m., then I ate breakfast and tried to go back to bed but the kids were up right after 7 a.m. I felt fine during the workout and after I showered, but from about 10 a.m. on, I've felt weak, tired, light-headed, and have had a headache.
I don't understand what's going on? And how much longer am I going to have to feel like this? I am determined to stick to the diet, but if that's the problem, then I can't do this for 90 days. I'm hot and about to pass out throughout the day, and I can't take care of the kids feeling like this. I'm confused because Nate and I are eating the same things for the most part and he doesn't feel like this at all.
The workouts are not the issue. It's hard getting up in the morning, but for the most part I can do them and am somewhat enjoying them. I won't give up on the workouts no matter what I do with the diet. I just wish I could feel better. Losing weight is hard. It's a test of your will power and discipline, but I don't think it should cause you to be ill!
Oh well, Day 5 is done. I'm proud of our efforts so far!
You are probably going through sugar withdrawal. I felt the same way when I tried that diet. Give it 2 weeks and you should have adjusted.
ReplyDeleteYea, sugar withdrawal. Same happened to me and still happens when I go without Splenda on my water cut week before competing. Our bodies are soooo addicted it's crazy! I am one grouchy, rude person those weeks lol. You definitely start feeling better and getting used to it though. The diet sucks most...but you have lost 2 lbs already!! YOU CAN DO IT! Woohooo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mandy and Lindsay. I have done this diet before and didn't experience this fatigue. I'm hypoclycemic so it feels like my sugar is low and that makes sense. I think I'm finally through the withdrawal symptoms though. Lindsay, how long did you do the diet? And how much did you lose? I just keep thinking about how what you said...that's seriously the only thing keeping me committed to the diet! Thanks for being consistent cause it's helping me!
