    Rough Start - Vertigo.. started again and on Track!

    I tried to start this diet right after July 4th. Stayed on it for 2 days and lost 4 lbs. The second day I started having Vertigo and I just couldn't handle it.

    I drank a lot of Diet Coke before and definitely a carb addict. So I don't know if the caffeine withdrawals or the sugar withdrawals got me. Or I could have just had this vertigo episode that was unrelated.

    So I got off the diet and just tried to stay off the caffeine. So that first week all I did was kick the caffeine habit. Of course I gained back the 4 lbs. I lost.

    The vertigo is gone, caffeine is gone and I decided to start this diet again this week. So I started on Tuesday and I have been faithful to it. Weighed this morning and already lost 8 lbs!

    I am really excited. And this board is encouraging.

    Great to hear about your restart.
    Not sure what was up with Vertigo. Could it be induction flue perhaps.

          Glad to here that this has happened to someone else. It really scared me because the room was spinning for two days. Still on track so far 6 days in and 10 lbs. gone.

              If the vertigo lingers you should probably see a doctor.

                  Congrats on your early success despite the challenges. BTW I have a friend who says he gets vertigo sometimes ... mostly from a lot of stress per his Doc.

                    Giving up caffeine and sugar at the same time can cause our bodies to give signs that they aren't particularly happy with the changes we are making. Like it or not, caffeine and sugar or each addictions. By stopping the addictive substance, we may get reactions as will the alcoholic or drug addict. Detoxing through the process and drinking a lot of water, taking walks and just staying away from the substance is the only way to get through it. There are no shortcuts. Congratulations on your success!

                    When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.
