Every day is worse
Hi everyone,
I'm on day 11 of eating 30 grams of carbs or less a day (my modified atkins induction) and I am feeling worse and worse each day. My body is shaking, I've had a bad headache for the last 3 days and I have NO energy at all. Last night I had serious pains in my liver area and this morning my back feels really heavy and in pain around my kidney area.
I am seriously thirsty, I drink over a gallon of water each day. I'm wondering if this is normal.. I know this is normal in the very beginning of induction, but it keeps getting worse. I actually felt better the first 4 days of this.
Here's what I ate yeserday to give you an idea. I am fairly sure I am getting enough nutrients and I'm taking a calcium/magnesium and potassium supplement plus a multi-vitamin everyday.
B-Flax Cereal (1/4 cup ground flaxmeal, 1 tbsp wheat bran, cinnamon, splenda, hot water)
S- Isopure Protein Shake (50 grams protein)
L-Big Salad with Spinach, Romaine, Cucumbers, 1 oz swiss, 1 oz provolone, 1 serving (19 grams protein) Veggie Canadian Bacon, Blue Cheese dressing
S-1/4 cup pecans, 1 string cheese, 2 celery sticks
D-Cauliflower/Tofu/Cheese bake, spinach salad with olive oil and red wine vinegar
This is fairly indicitive of how I've been eating the last 11 days, of course, I mix it up a bit with different foods and such.
I'm ready to just give up today.... I'm afraid that this is hurting my health, but I really wanted to do it for 14 days, then slowly add in more carbs with more veggies and small servings of legumes and cottage cheese, seitan, tvp and the like. (probably more like South Beach)..
What do you think is going on? Any advice would be welcomed..
