i feel AWFUL!!!

day 8,first few days fine,last couple of days rough due to illness and today horrid!!! feel really sick and lightheaded...after reading through posts i wonder whether im late going into ketosis (due to eating lots of carbs the night before i started this) If this is the case then i hope to wake up one morning VERY soon feeling GREAT!!! please can anyone tell me how long it will take before that morning comes cus i really cant cope with feeling like this for much longer,keep feeling like im going to pass out :sigh:
 
Hi,

Have you ever done this diet before? If so is it similar or totally different to past experience?
Is the illness seperate to the full aches and pains of not eating or are you ill because of the not eating?
Sorry lots of questions. If you havent had any blips I would really think you should be in ketosis by day 8?!
I'd speak to your pharmacy if I were you if you feel this rotten.
Drink plenty of water.. it really is the best thing for you.

Hello thankyou for your response
No blips whatsoever,have been 100% and have been drinking 4 litres of water a day,felt so good the first few days.
Days 6 and 7 poorly (day 7 weighday and got meds from pharmacist) but today feel not so much poorly but more lightheaded and nauseous and generally down!!!
I have never done this diet before and thought in the early days i mustve gone into ketosis early as i was feeling so good,but i have spent a while trawling through stuff today on here and i now understand a little more of the science behind it i think,ketosis happens when your body has used up all the carbs you ate the day or so before starting lipotrim (or any other low carb diet)...so if you ate badly (which i did) then it will take a little longer to get into it,i hope ive got that right and am explaining it properly :/ so i THINK how i feel today is how MOST ppl feel on day 4 or 5,does that make sense?

When will the day come that i keep reading about that i will BOUND out of bed feeling FANTASTIC with copious amounts of energy,thats what i want to know lol

I will stick with it regardless :)

I'd wait and see how you feel once you've finished the medicine you've been prescribed if you dont get the get up and go feeling maybe LT isn't for you?!?!? No point feeling completely miserable on it.

Hey Tori :) thank you x

Still going strong with the black coffee so it has to be the carb withdrawals (and to be fair i was a total carb monster)...i will keep going with it,i have no intention of caving in now (early days still i know) i read that somebody took TEN days to get into ketosis so assumed it might be the same for me due to my carb blowout the night (well,few days) before day one.

Just really hope i dont carry on feeling like i have today :(

Hey PrettyLady im 99% sure you will be feeling better soon!! I hope you wake up tomorrow feeling much better :). Your strong and will defeat the carb aftermath!!
 
Thankyou Claire :) i very nearly caved in last night,but i DIDNT yaaaay!! have woken up feeling a lot better today,i think Tori is right its just my body ridding itself of all the toxins (and with the amount of wine i used to drink and crap i used to eat i suspect i may be ridding them for some time lol)

How are you getting on?? Feeling ok??

And yes i will defeat the carb monster if its the last thing i do!!! lols :)
 
Keep your spirits up, trust me it will get better:D
 
i hope youre right cus yet again im sat here nearly caving in...its the lack of energy i cant deal with,im fine in the morning but then in the afternoon when i try to do ANYTHING i feel soooo washed out and have to stop else i feel im going to pass out!! i seriously cant keep it up if that doesnt get better :( please tell me it does???

For me the first few days were terrible thereafter I was fine, not to say I didn't long for food. It was always on my mind but I could control the strong urge to eat. I nearly caved in this weekend because there was so much food around the house, the smell of pizza was just too much for me.
I tend to sleep it off! I think that's what Kingmaker does, just look at his weight losses.
Just wait till your first weigh in session then take it from there. Only you can decide what is best for you. I was in obese category, now I am over weight, what a difference a few months can make to your health. :D
 
Well done for sticking with it prettylady. For some there can be a really rough patch - flu like symptoms sometimes. But it does pass and when you do get the energy boost, and your eyes are sparkling and that bloated look is going the next month is a breeze because you really then DO BELIEVE that it works.

Remember we can all feel lousy some days regardless of being on a diet!

hi im new to this i start mine next tuesday and am hoping to get resuluts like everyone talks about as i have a lot to lose. but good luck with it all
 
Thankyou for your advice everyone,day 10 and really struggling with the lack of energy,i have no intention of caving in now as im really hoping in the next week i will get past this and feel better, IF i dont then i will have to seriously consider coming off this i reckon,just dont feel its very fair to my boys to be so dam lethargic and sleepy,i simply cant do anything with them :( Im confident that it will pass and i will have energy again but i surely need to put a time limit on it?? Any thoughts??

Hey Manda,i wish you all the best when you start,dont take on board too much my moaning,most ppl seem to get on fine,i just like to whinge lol, i too have a lot to lose and ive lost 11pounds in my first week and am determined to stick with it,let us know how you get on wont you :)

I'm feeling the same today...i felt just rotten...had my first weigh in and i had 10lb off so that put a wee spring in my step :)
I just hope tomorrow i'm feeling a bit better
