lfein Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I am on Day 13, for the past 3-4 days, have been getting instant dizzy and nauseous feelings, and I either have to stop what i am doing or sit down. Breakfast today was an egg, 1 chicken/apple sausage, fried potatoes (in coconut oil), I did have a cup of coffee earlier, and then of course lemon water. The dizziness came on about 3 hours after eating, also a headache. This has been happening on/off for about the past 3-4 days, with no specific rhyme or reason? Any suggestions? I have searched the site and came on two postings, suggesting more water, which i will do, but i really thought i was eating alot at my meals, (I have not been having meals in-between, just the 3 meals. I thought i would be now have alot more energy, but no, really tired all the time... Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shooting from the hip I'd say you need more water, more salt, more fat, and/or more food in general.Your breakfast looks a little light to me for starters - what else are you eating throughout the day?

lfein Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yesterday BF... 2 scrambled eggs, left over stir fry veggies 1.5 cups, 1/4 pomelo LUNCH. Cooked chicken salad made with homemade mayo, with diced pickles, celery and peppers on lettuce bed and cherry tomatoes DINNER. 6 oz steak with 1.5 cup stirfried carrots, zuccini and peppers and 1/4 potato. Green tea, coffee and water throughout day. I use coconut oil to cook everything and thought used loads of salt and pepper. Oh for breakfast I also had 3/4 cup chicken veggie soup, homemade broth.

Brewer5 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What would you say if I told you ~ you could almost double your food every day? Are you really feeling stuffed and satiated with what you are eating right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfein Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 double? oh my, today for lunch, using the word "stuffed", no I'm not stuffed but full - I just re-checked the menu planner and probably not getting the amount of veggies that it says i need per meal. I use fat for cooking the veggies, eggs, sausages, etc, but every meal, a thumb size, I really don't think so. When i do eat some nut/seeds at meals, i usually have about 15 almonds.

Often, the fat you cook in stays in the pan and isn't consumed. Don't be afraid to add more. A heaping handful of olives or coconut flakes, a half to a whole avocado, mayo, oil-based dressings and sauces are all good options. Nuts should be limited, not your main fat source, and when you do have them, limit them to a small closed handful. If you're used to limiting calories or carbs or fat, this can be a big change. It's okay, just try to follow the meal template and you should start feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
