Hi, I've just signed up on this very interesting forum.
I've been on a low carb diet for just one week and noticed that my lips have become VERY dry. Has anyone had this experience or know what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to drink more water, or could it be because I've started drinking tea instead of coffee? I just noticed I'm supposed to take a daily vitamin supplement.
I was also very "hyper" the first few days (so to speak!) and did not feel as tired in the evenings. Usually I go to bed early but now I find I can watch a late night film no bother.
I'm actually eating more than I did before, expecially for breakfast, yet I felt very slightly dizzy half way through the week. Nonetheless I do not feel the usual bloating, and my trousers are not tight anymore. The weight still seems to be the same though!
Just thought I'd share my initial experiences! Thanks
Susan
