kristie Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've searched the forum and can't find an answer for this. I got to day 8 fairly easily but my body has started feeling a bit...weird...the last couple of days. Today I literally feel like somebody has slipped something in my tea. I'm a bit weird and tingly all over and just feel physically...odd. I find it a little hard to focus like this. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm definitely eating enough and regularly enough and haven't changed exercise patterns i.e. doing very little exercise. Is this normal? Any ideas what it's all about?? Any feedback very much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Strathdee Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Kristie - has your caffeine intake changed? Are you drinking enough? How's your sodium intake (do you salt your food enough)? You may want to add a pinch of salt to your water or grab a little coconut water and see if that helps. This is definitely not common, though, so if it persists you may want to check in with your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristie Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks Robin! I think I may actually have worked it out. The coffee. I have never liked coffee. I had my first coffee a year ago at the age of 33. I can't stand the taste but recently I've started having the odd coffee (while holding my nose) to keep me awake if I am trying to work more hours or need waking up during the day. I had one this afternoon. I have probably had one the last couple of days too. I think my body is HYPER-reacting to it. I hadn't made the link but it seems to be coffee....and then a few hours of feeling totally drugged. So coffee is completely going off the menu and I'll see if that stops it!

WholeRitu Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Having rough Day 8 as well, but I don't drink coffee. So far I've only had 1 day of "magic" that was Day 4. Is it normal to still be feeling tired--really tired--a little quesy and cranky during week 2? I have a killer Sugar Dragon whose death may be slow and painful.

Robin Strathdee Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 kristie - for some reason, my body goes through hypersensitive periods and can't handle more than one cup a day. Bodies are weird. Glad you got it figured out! WholeRitu - Yes, yes, yes. Totally normal. Most folks start feeling better around the end of week 2, but some folks have issues that take longer to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I became even more sensitive to coffee in the early days. I think it triggers blood sugar lows when you aren't having sugar but you are not yet efficiently burning fat. Check there is enough fat in your diet too. I had quite distinct muscle fatigue when I exercised ( weird and tingly) from about day four to 16, after that I only noticed the jitters when exercising if I had had coffee that day. It was quite bizarre really. I was the most queasy in week 2 and sleep went worse in week 2 and 3 then got better slowly. Keep up your efforts, you will enjoy the final result!

kristie Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks everyone! Yeah the coffee is gone gone gone. Can't believe what a strong reaction I was having to it. WholeRitu - I haven't had any 'magic days yet'. Look forward to that! For now I'm just happy knowing how good this is for me. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeRitu Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thank you! I'll hang in there. Is it the death of the dragon that makes you feel so quesy? Similar to candida die-off? or the shift to burning fat? Appreciate your feedback! Day 9 going well so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
