First day and so weak!

Yet another comment of mine on a post about low carb diet at fattoskinny.net

Angie’ post:

First day.  Kept carbs to 30.  I’m very weak and just down right mean!  When will this awful feeling go away?

My poor family!      Your stories and photos are so inspirational.  I want this to work for me, but these jittery and weak feelings are about to get the best of me.  Should I not go so drastic and decrease the carbs more slowly?

Thanks in advance for amy words of wisdom!

My advice:

Hi Angie and welcome!

The advice that the others have given on this page is something that you should be sure to follow. I would particularly take notice of TooSweet’s advice to take a bit more salt and to make sure you drink a lot more than usual.

The salt would ensure that your electrolyte levels don’t go too far out of whack and drinking water will help you to detox more quickly, as well getting a lot more exercise simply because the more exercise that you can get particularly if it makes you sweat a little will increase the rate that your body processes the sugar out of your system, so to speak.

But do know one thing, you’re not alone; we’ve all been through it and the feeling that you get in your body when it comes to an end is absolutely marvelous.

Cheers,

Mark
