Weakness, Dizziness, Bad-Humor and Sleepless Nights

 

Question:

What other symptoms can I expect other than Weakness, Dizziness, Bad-Humor, and Sleepless Nights. Have done this diet many times and the last time I did it, I almost fainted in a store. Needed to seat down, had a glass of water and continued with the shopping. Took a break of about 10 days and back on this CDS, but this time felt much worse already on my 2nd day of the diet feeling all of the above and almost fainting again while in a store...again sat down, stopped in a Juice Bar and asked for a watermelon juice while munching in some dried apple bits and returned home. Could not sleep at all, not because I was hungry, but just cos I could not sleep while tired as hell. Woke up with horrible dark circles and feel like am looking more like a walking ugly cadaver than a slender healthy fellow. Am I loosing weight? Yes...definitely, the scale keeps dropping every day that's why I keep doing it, but not sure If my body can take any more of this diet. After all, I believe once one eliminates all the water in ones body, afterwards one suffers the consequences on the health issue. Any guess, suggestions, remarks would appreciate. Am I over-exaggerating? Everyone says I am going nuts with this nonsense diet. But still --sometimes-- I believe we get in some addiction modes that's difficult to quit. And I guess I got addicted to loosing weight thru this diet. I just can't see myself chubby again. Hum...just stressed out due to this diet...and you can tell its another symptom as I also have been very impatient with people as well. How horrible can it get? Help!!!! ...

Answer:

I'm sure this diet affects everyone differently. Some people just can deal with such a low-carb, low-cal, low-protein diet better than others. When I first started it, I had a really hard time exercising, but now I have no problem exercising. As far as being hungry, you really shouldn't let yourself get that way. If you don't just love veggies and fruit (especially veggies) this diet will be way harder for you.

Maybe try adding a very small serving of protein every day to help with the weakness and faintness. You can use eggs, chicken or even nuts. I did a variated version which allowed a serving of skim milk or low-fat plain yogurt. Maybe that might work better. If you're interested in that version I found it in a book called The All New Cabbage Soup Diet by Margaret Danbrot or I can post the detail on here if you'd like. It's not too different but there are some variations. I felt a little more fulfilled on that diet and I lost just as much weight.
