Hehehe I was chatting with my CDC yesterday and she was talking in her nutrition mode for a bit. Basically she was saying that I was dehydrated, not from lack of water i'm drinking but from the way my body processes that water into my individual cells. She saw that my ketostick was dark red, and that it should be pink. Its a sign of internal dehydration, rather than you are burning more fat. So, she gave me some brine solution (not like table salt) to mix one teaspoon a day with a glass of water to drink first thing in the morning. So she was explaining the process and I said to her 'does that mean when i'm craving salty things, like pork scratchings for example, my body id telling me i'm needing salts'. She said yes exactly, when most people crave crisps, its the saltiness they need not the carbahydrate bit, and she said often if you offer someone craving that a plain unsalted crisp they will turn their nose up...and its true Ive done it before!
So, im thinking that with me introducing good mineral salts into my body, they might have 'ran out' by midnight and my body was telling me a needed more.
So, I said to her how come I need it when CD has all vits and mins, and she basically said that everybody is different, the levels we absorb and use are personal to us. Which I get, it makes sense.
So when im doing maintenance, im going to try and listen to my body instead of grabbing the nearest unhealthy pie!
