Hi
I started SS'ing last week and managed 5 days 100%. I was drinking 6 or 7 pints of water a day and made sure I didn't overdo things. By day 3, according to the sticks, I was in Ketosis and so assumed that within the next day or so I would start to feel better.
By day 5 I could barely move, my head hurt, at times I couldn't focus and I felt very sick and very, very hungry. I felt as though I was going to collapse at any minute and was very wobbly.
My partner cooked me some chicken and broccoli that evening as he was worried I was going to pass out and I did feel much better after eating it but still felt nauseous and weak for a few days afterwards.
I haven't stuck to the diet 100% since and I'm desperate to get back onto it but I'm so scared I'm going to end up feeling that way again. I'd been told and read that once in Ketosis any feeings of hunger, light headedness, headaches, nausea etc would go.
I have got my packs for this week and really want to do this diet but just wondered if how I felt was normal and why, even though I was in Ketosis, I didn't feel any better, in fact, felt much worse?
I'd be interested to hear from anyone.
Thanks everso
