HI all I started LT 5 days ago and this forum has been a godsend.
The last year saw me give up smoking and put on 2 stone when I was already 5 stone overweight, I managed to get down 1 stone with exercise which I slowly came to love but just couldnt seem to stay on the straight and narrow with diets. I suspect that I have a very low carb tolerance and a slight gluten allergy so when I do eat again I wont be able to go back to a high carb diet ever unfortunately because I love carbs big time. So here is my journey so far
Day 1
weigh 15st 1lb
Day 2
not feeling too bad until the evening after I had done some exercise. I was violently sick couldn't keep water down never mind the shakes. Was really worried that I wouldn't be able to do this am also worried about the health implications so come on here.
Day 3
Feeling pants but have stopped vomiting I am lucky in that I dont work so just went to bed when I felt really bad. HAve however noticed that I have lost about 7lb on my scales which always goes up by 5 lb in the day, need to stop weighing myself.
Day 4
Feeling slightly better but God I am hungry and so cold I think the detox has got me real bad
Day 5
Feel great this morning walked the dogs and then went skating which is quite hard, after I got horrendous cramps absolutely everywhere my muscles where spasming and you could see it, I was jerking around and looked like I was changing into a werewolf, have never had anything like this before and once again was worried about my health, I stupidly had an oxo cube to try and replace some salts thinking it would be ok, it did help with the cramps but knocked me out of ketosis and spent the rest of the day hungry and fed up.
Day 6
Still weak and hungry but not too bad, am going to stick with it because I know that as long as I stick to it that I am going to loose weight and that is so exciting I cant wait to find what that feels like.
Thats my catch up done because I am writing this on day 6 but think it will be quite usefull also I find other peoples stories and seeing their progress amazingly helpful
