Hello,


I am entering my second week of phase I and had a scare today and still do not feel great.  Today I have felt exhausted but decided to go for my usual run.  About 15 minutes in I became incredibly dizzy to the point I really thought I was going to pass out.  Very scary!  I finally was able to walk home very slowly feeling the same with shakey feeling.   As soon as I got in I had my yogurt and still feel a bit weird.  I am not significantly overweight, don't have any medical problems etc.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I want to do the second week of phase 1 before moving to phase 2 but want to ensure this does not happen again especially as I have a race in May.


Thanks.

As I've mentioned before, I was unable to exercise when I was in phase 1.

Hi beths,


Certain people are advised by Dr. Agatston to skip Phase 1, including runners.

I think I am going to go to Phase 2 and see how I feel.

The "Light" whole wheat english muffins aren't legal.

The first ingredient is "enriched" wheat flour.
