Guest Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 just need some reassurance. I'm on day 3. cravings fine, but I feel more anxious than usual (I have taken my full dose of natural calm which can help), and I'm sat at work feeling useless and rubbish. Is my brain playing voodoo tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 What have you eaten over the past three days? Are you prone to anxiety? Are you including at least a fist sized serving of starchy veg per day? How much fat are you eating? Are you salting your food? How much water are you drinking...?

kathleen237 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi--just completed day 3 myself yesterday. I felt pretty much the same, really foggy and drained and tired. Today I'm going to try to add the starchy vegetable to the mix. Other than that, I think I've been eating right, and drinking tons of water, and using a bit of salt. Hopefully today will be better, energy-wise. When can we hope for a bit of the magic? Week 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my period so I've been including extra starchy veg, lots of fat (I'm eating portions almost big enough for two people haha), salting my food and drinking 3-4l of water a day. I am prone to anxiety but I'm having a flare up out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 @foursimplewords - try to include some oily fish alongside that starchy veg, and get yourself outdoors - the omega 3s and the vitamin D will do wonders for your mood. You could also include foods like turkey, beef, seaweed, spinach, oysters/shrimp/prawns, pineapple, mushrooms & brazil nuts (ie. foods high in tryptohan - the precursor for serotonin - & selenium) as these are all natures 'happy pills'.

I had mackerel for dinner last night and I have it for lunch today too. I have an office job so getting outside can be tricky but I have ordered a vitD supp now the weather is starting to change to top it up. My life is full of beef and spinach and prawns hahah so I will keep those up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
