is it possible you blood sugar levels
| Wed, 03-31-2004 - 6:52am |
get too low? I woke up this morning feeling shaky, tired and lightheaded. I had a cup of skim milk hoping the sugars in it would make me feel better. I feel better. But I was just wondering if someone else is getting lightheaded too?
Thank you,
Happy

It is very common to feel light-headed during phase 1.
I had a lot of problems with my sugar going real low when I started. I did end up going to my doctor about this issue. He encouraged me to stay on the diet, but to make some adjustments. A lot of the adjustments are the same things that were suggested in the previous posting.
One of the things that made the biggest difference for me, was when I totally cut out my caffeine intake.
I am in Phase2 now and feeling better, I felt rough for a few weeks, but it was worth it! So dont give up!! Feeling good will come and your body will adjust. As my doctor put it " some peoples bodies adjust easy and others just kind of fight the adjustment"
If it gets really bad ( as mine did ) you may want to speak to your doctor, so that he can put your mind at ease.

Breakfast:
2 quiche cups to go + cup skim milk
Lunch:
Broiled flank steak + green beans + stewed tomatoes + SF jello
Midafternoon snack:
10 grape tomatoes
Dinner:
Left over stewed tomatoes omelet + SF jello
The night before I had had one cup of skim milk before going to bed. Maybe I need to do that again.
I don't think I can cut out on having SF jello. I need to taste something sweet, otherwise I might feel like cheating with something really bad like a cookie.
Thank you for your advice,
happy
