Feeling dizzy/spaced out... :(

[Sauce]

Hi all, new to this forum and so far finding it an amazing help!! There's so much common sense, hope and support on here!!

I have about 2 stone or so I want to lose and started the CWP on Thursday of last week.

Constantly drinking water and constantly weeing.... !!

Just wondering, is it normal to feel sort of spaced out and dizzy?? Can't seem to shake it really, and not sure if I'm ketosis - no metallic taste but a weird sweet tase - although this could be the coke zero or the packs...!!

Any advice/experience of others would be VERY much appreciated - thanks... Sauce xx

Yes - the spaced out thing does happen - but the good news is, it'll pass. Ketosis brings about a drop in blood pressure and that tends to be the cause. Your body will soon get used to it.

And that sweet taste - yup, that's ketosis, without a shadow of a doubt. That also gets better - or you just stop noticing it, I'm not sure which.

Well done on sticking with it this far! :happy096: Things should start to get a bit easier from now on...

Thanks Lily, thank you for replying and thank you for reassuring me!! I text my CDC and haven't had a reply...!! Lol. Just wish I felt like something was happening - feeling like a beached whale at min, drinking near on 6 litres of water a day (constantly thirsty!) and would like to see a bit of a loss. Although in reality I expect the fat to begin to burn next week... In an ideal world water wouldn't make my jeans tight.. LOL. Sauce xx

Also, can't see any loss at all - should I be expecting one this soon?? Today is day 5....

I get dizzy a lot. Just have a sit down, a pint of water and breathe deeply,it will soon pass. Hope you'll be feeling better soon.

I found that I had some dizzy spells during my last SS as well... though a shake usually made me feel ok again! Does anyone find they have big bursts of energy as well?

 

[timsmom]

Yes but sadly they are shortlived! I end up deciding I can conquer the world and an hour in and I'm whacked. Hey ho - grateful for any small bursts of energy!!LOL

 

[Sauce]

Thanks all for replying, feeling a bit lonely and lost...
Still feeling bloated, hopefully the scales will tell me differently tomorrow

They pass - today is day 9 and I feel fine but I did feel like I couldnt concentrate for about a week, but now headaches and fuzzy all gone. Keep it up.

[Sauce]

[Sauce]
