first few days of cd sole source

hi everyone i started cd sole source today and was just wondering if there was anyone else who had started at the same time? so far i have stuck to it but feel a bit headachey and light headed - i had a dominos pizza last night for my "last supper"
any comments, support appreciated :)
 
Hi

That's normal and the pizza last night won't be helping unfortunately.. major carb hangover! :D. Keep drinking the water everytime you feel headachy etc and it'll settle after about 3-5 days (depending on how long it takes you to get to ketosis).

Good luck!
 
I found the first few days on SS quite hard but then it got easier after the first week. Just keep drinking water and stay determined - you will be fine. :)
 
just keep telling yourself that it gets much easier , the first week is tough and if you take it one day ( or even 1 hour ) at a time , you can get through it and after that the time ( and weight ) fly by :)
glug the water and enjoy your shakes :)
 
I started on Friday, and found the first day the hardest, for me its breaking habits, instead of eating popcorn while watching a film, or choc when eastenders on I have the choc shake slightly warm so its a hot choc and then i feel as though i had a treat.

The girls are right, water is really important and i hate unflavoured water, it does stop the headaches and makes you feel more full.

Good luck on your journey
 
thank you everyone I have got a business meeting tommorrow where sandwiches are provided, im going to crop up with a soup and ask for water so bet that will be testing - looking at your trackers is a massive incentive though thank you xx
 
Hi, and welcome to the boards. As you can see there are some really lovely and inspiring people on here.
Good luck with your meeting tomorrow and with your first week on CD. Just stick with it - the results are fantastic. :)
 
hello and welcome.. :) hope that the meeting went ok today, and yes it does get better..... stick with it, and you will feel fab when you have had more than a few days 100%
 
just keep trucking kid, this diet is a marathon, not a race.....we just have to pace ourselves x
 
Hi Walkerl1979
I started yesterday and have about 10lbs more than you to lose. I have done Cambridge before but life got in the way as it does lol I feel very determined at the moment but from previous experiences my "trouble" days are 5 and 6. If I can get through 2 weeks on SS I will be extremely pleased with myself. Good luck with your journey
xx
