Let me give you a little intro to start... I started South Beach Diet 3 weeks ago and things have gone REALLY well for me, I've been losing weight, having some more energy (not tons), but have had a few headaches here and there. But here's what I do NOT get! I've been told over and over to avoid sugar and wheat, so this seems like the ideal plan for my body... so how come I am STILL getting headaches? I've eliminated all the things my doctor told me to avoid, shouldn't my body feeling in peak performance?
And I thought I'd be getting TONS of energy, and be sleeping less.. all of that. It's not happening, sometimes I'm finding I'm sleeping 12 or so hours a night just to feel slightly refreshed, that doesn't seem right to me. I thought maybe I was oversleeping, but getting up earlier doesn't help much either (I even thought it was depression - just the sleep factor alone - but thats my only symptom).
I guess I am just ranting a little - I just want to feel GOOD!!! It's true there are some great benefits, so it's not all negative.
The thing that disturbs me the most is that I just woke up feeling sick to my stomach and not like I was in control of what might happen.. ie throwing up. This has calmed quite a bit since I sat down and started posting, thank goodness... it's a very creepy feeling!! (I am definitely NOT pregnant! )
It could be a sickness as one of the girls I was working with on thursday was saying in the morning that she was feeling off - really dizzy, thought she might faint, and she had some nausea. Hopefully it just doesn't progress past this stomach feeling, and that I can get back to sleep because I have to work in the morning.
Thanks for listening... I do feel a little better already..
