Hi all, i hope you've all had a good day and you're doing well on the diet.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem my mum is having on the diet?
She has been on CD SS 100% for over a month now and for the past few weeks she has been getting headches almost everyday.
She is usually ok in the morning but when it gets to late afternoon and the evening she says her head starts to feel really heavy and its difficult for her to sleep. She sometimes gets it after she has her shake.
I'm not sure what it could be but i have suggested drinking more water and cutting down on the housework (she does alot). I've also suggested that maybe she move upto SS+ or 810 cals but shes reluctant to do so because she doesnt think she'll lose much weight. She thinks this because she has been doing SS 100% and is only losing 2lbs or so a week. So she thinks that if she moves up a step she'll lose less and she doesnt want to spend £35 a week on it for low losses.
She also doesnt want to drink more water because she is drinking around 3.5 litres a day and feels like any more would be dangerous for her and difficult to drink.
I would really appeciate your thoughts and opinions on this as i'm really worried about her and dont know what else to suggest.
I will also mention that she is about 5 ft 1 and she is currently around 11 stones 7lbs. She also suffers fron low iron levels but she says that she doesnt feel thats the cause because shes not getting the symptoms she usually gets when she is low on iron.
Shes going to make an appointment this week to get her blood pressure checked to make sure thats not the cause but other than that i dont know what to do and i feel responsible because shes only knows about the diet through me.
I'm really really sorry about the long post but i just wanted to be clear about everything.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you xx
