I need your opinions - please! I'm very confused.
I did lighter life for 16 days, lost just over a stone. I felt fine for the first two weeks, but for the last few days I felt awful, weak, dizzy, permanently hungry. So I fell off the wagon (quite gently - healthy eating and exercise!). I've been off for about 5 days, and I've put 3lbs back on - that's all, which I'm really pleased about because that must be glycogen, and I still feel much better about my body.
For the last five days I've been following the Food Doctor detox - healthy low GI eating, small portions - and doing lots of exercise, which I enjoy. But tonight is my lighter life meeting and I enjoy the camaraderie and until day 14 or so I really enjoyed the diet and the sense of wellbeing. I can always do food doctor after I've lost the weight...but then again, maybe I should just stick with healthy eating now and lose the weight more slowly (although of course, then I run the risk of getting bored / sliding back into bad habits).
Help! What do you think about going back to LL to lose another stone, then coming off for another week to maintain / back for the last stone? Or am I just being silly?
Is there any way to stop me feeling so awful? I did LL before and stopped at around the 12 day mark with the same problem. Any ideas why this might be?
Your opinions and wise knowledge would be very much appreciated!
