I am nearing the end of day 4 on CD and am struggling. I feel quite poorly at the mo experiencing a constant headache and general aches and pains and feeling unwell.
I have drunk 4.5 litres of water so far today and each time I drink some it just takes the edge of the headache making it tolerable.
I've been getting a pain in the right side of my back about half way up like a spasm which comes and goes and my arms and shoulders are weak.
I guess I'm struggling a bit and to make matters worse I came across this article on a fellow dieters blog:
http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/tm_headline=dead--33st-matilda-who-lost-10st-in-6-months-on-crash-diet-of-500-calories-a-day&method=full&objectid=18046775&siteid=62484-name_page.html
This obviously has scared me a bit since I too am a large person (29stone).
Is the CD associated with large muscle/tissue loss?
When I initially went to see my G.P to have my medical form signed, he said he had no experience or no opinion on the diet and simply signed the form and sent me on my way. The more I have thought about this, the more concerned I have become. I will make an appoitment to see our surgerys other G.P. What help have people had from their G.P and what should a checkup whilst on this diet include?
I also followed several links and stumbled upon an article which says Gallstones are a common side effect of a vcld.
Can pysslium husks be used to aid digestion and help prevent gallstones and taken daily even if at present I am still going to the toilet daily?
ANy advice is much appreciated.
