i am also feeling very weak and dizzy this morning . I am on day 4 of p2 and have been chalking the weekness up to a cold, but my cold is much better and I feel weaker today . where can you get those life caps at?
well - i guess i posted in the wrong thread: "help, I'm starving". This is my first vlcd 1 on p2 and discouraged feeling like I can't do this feeling this way. So reading these posts encourages me a little that maybe it will get better. Shirley
I am feeling exactly the same way. Right now as I write this I'm extremely nauseated and dizzy. I also get a bad burning feeling in my throat and following down to my stomach. I'm just finishing the first week. I've been so dizzy at times that I weave when I walk. Not a good feeling. I'm also praying that this will go away, as it's a miserable feeling. I hope that everyone else starts to feel better as well.
i felt nauseated too and in fact still do and feel tired...it takes what little i have left in me to care for my 5 & 4 yr old plus i get migraine headaches, but as i see the weight drop I keep chuggin away at it and keep telling myself it will pass eventually...this site is a GOD sent because I really think i would have given up or gone crazy if I didnt have this place to come to to keep my spirits up..good luck to you
Well, I think I had the majority of all the side effects, constant nausea (and dry heaves), cold intolerance, headaches, zero appetite (combine that with the N/V - its been a ball). Im on day 15 - 22.4 pounds down, stalled for about 4 days but changed my workout routine to include upper body conditioning (rowing for an hour or kayaking) and increased my run times and no more stalls. Honestly, I dont think this is something I'd do again. My wife actually started it and as a show of support, I did it with her. As a side note - I worked out for about 45 minutes a day for 3 months and did not lose a single pound. I was borderline Diabetic with am fasting sugars in the low 120 to low teens - but now my fasting sugars are around mid 70's. So losing this fast is a bit of a head spin - but with my side effects - its not one for the weak of heart. My best to all my fellow suffers ;)
VAboy, Your body is telling you something...is this your first round? When you loaded did what types of food did you eat? Are you working out MORE now than you were pre diet?
Hi~ I am fairly new at this, this is my r1p2vlcd3, but I did do a lot of research. I have been on a yahoo group and whenever the question of being dizzy or feeling weak comes up (and it has several times) the advice that is always posted is to use stevia (or however you spell it) at least 3 x per day. I am giong to go get some tomorrow, not for dizziness, but just for some sweetness in my coffee/tea.
Maybe this will help! Hang in there and stay focused on the end result... a healthier you!
