Fatigue
 

Ihave been on SB for one week now, and I find myself sooooo tired and achy, plus headachy. Could this have something to do with what I'm eating/or not eating? :?:

First of all :welcome: back. I see you have been away for a while.

Have you read the South Beach book? The Super-Charged version has a new food list which is posted in the FAQ above. You may not be eating enough and are suffering from carb or caffeine withdrawal.

Please post a typical day's menu so we can check it out. You may be missing some dairy or good carbs.

Thanks Ruth, I did read the book, but cannot fine the supercharged list you referred to. Can you help?

Sorry! Here it is. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/sbd-...ay-2008-a.html

Absolutely! Try googling south beach flu and you'll find lots about it. I thought beans helped. You should get over it soon :)

I have heard about withdrawal from sugar and things like that. I looked into the maker's diet a while back, it is similar in many aspects to the phase 1 of sbd and he mentioned that the first week or so you may feel drained and have headaches, assumingly because your blood sugar is righting itself.

Thanks all!
 

Thanks for all the input! I did lose 8 lbs. this week! YAY!
