Just wanted to write a note to tell everyone to be super careful if you stop exante and go back to eating 'fulltime' again. I was fine initially, and because i'm having a tough time emotionally, i didn't stick to my plan (atkins style eating) and went totally off the rails, ate nearly a whole large pizza, and lots of other junk.
Well, i can't tell you how sick i feel. Not just sore belly sick from overeating, i feel like i'm dying. My stomach is churning and it really really hurts, i'm sweaty and hot and just feel really really bad. I couldn't get out of bed for hours and hours other than to run to the bathroom.
I have been overeating on other food too, but what made me ill was the pizza. My *theory* is that eating proteins is OK, even in some quantity, and veggies are OK, a little 'pure' (eg wholegrain) carbs are OK, but heavily processed carbs are NOT OK, especially in large quantities and accompanied by lots of fat. And most definitely don't eat a large dominos pizza right after coming off exante. I don't think my body knew what to do with it.
Well, i wrote this post in 2 parts as i felt so ill but it's 10.30am now and i finally feel a little better. I haven't been able to take fluids or anything i feel that ill, working on getting some water into me now as i feel really yuck and dehydrated.
I feel like my need to come off the diet has been cured temporarily. I want to come back on Exante right away! (maybe tomorrow, i'm working on just hydration today, honestly don't think i can stomach anything whether that is food or shakes today... ). Right now i can't understand what on earth prompted me to want to eat food, especially pizza and other junk as even thinking about it is making me want to throw up again.
Anyway, i'm sure no one is as silly as me, but i wanted to put this up as a warning incase anyone feels like having a major binge - please don't, especially if you have been doing exante for some time - your body will rebel and it is not fun.
