idauria Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 This question is actually for my mom. She is not on the whole 30, but she is pretty much following the protocol. She's eating very little carbs, no sugars, grains, or dairy. She's been doing this for a few weeks now. Since yesterday she's been feeling weird, she describes it as almost an anxious feeling and is wondering if it's the diet. I guess it's possible. It's not low blood sugar because she tested her sugar and it was fine(she's pre-diabetic so she tests frequently). She ate an apple and it helped for a while. It's keeping her up at night too. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2012 My guess is that she needs to eat more and she may need to up the amount of carbs she is eating specifically. The Whole30 approach is not necessarily low carb and many people need moderate levels of carbs to feel right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idauria Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 That's what she suspected and why she ate fruit. It's weird that these feelings persist even after eating some carbs. Will it subside eventually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 If she adds more carbohydrate - especially starchy, nutrient dense sources like sweet potato and pumpkin - on a consistent basis, yes. :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
