Started today...felt very sick
| Mon, 10-20-2003 - 6:11pm |
I started the South Beach today-more as a way of eating more healthfully than as a diet to lose weight. I felt very sick a couple of hours after lunch-nauseous, headache, chest pain, just plain horrible. I broke down and drank some milk and now I feel better. What is the deal with this? Did anyone else experience this?
I'm upset because this is exactly how I felt when I did Atkins for a day a while back. I couldn't even last one day.

I, too, didn't survive Atkins (was REALLY sick). I, too, had a small glass of milk in week 1....how funny that you did the same. And, it seemed to help me, too. I figured it was better to have milk than a sugary snack. At least it had some vitamins.
I cannot say if this is really good for me or not, but I am trying to last a bit longer.
Some groups have been listed as people who should go right to p2. The weight supposedly comes off much slower, but it might be something to think about. Whatever you decide, best wishes to you! The people on this board are very supportive.

I am finding phase II to be much better, and I am losing weight faster on phase II.
We are all so different in our responses to dietary changes.
Pay attention to your body.
Just my opinion.

If you can stick it out, you WILL feel better. I think a lot of it is the body going through "carb/sugar withdrawal". If someone had told me I would actually get used to this phase 1 thing and NOT feel tired, weak, etc, I wouldn't have believed them. But it is true, I DID get better. I feel great now, and more motivated to stick with it than ever.
Good luck, and hang in there.
