    So good and then...

    I have been doing really well. Lost 7 pounds this week. I feel good and am very happy. This weekend, starting Thursday, I have been selling my soy candles at a local fair. I was in the heat all day Thursday but it wasn't too bad. I brought a salad in a cooler with me and stayed on program all day even though I did not eat as much as usual. Then around 9:00 pm my daughter broke her arm on a ride and I had to rush her to the hospital. Needless to say I was there until 2:00 am and back at the fair at 8:00am.

    I was so dizzy and sick on Friday even though I ate breakfast. I did not have any time to pack anything and I really thought I was going to pass out. My friend got me a small ice cream thinking it would help my blood sugar. It did not. Then we had a some caramel kettle corn! At this point I felt sooo dizzy that I stopped caring what I had. There was no fruit or anything like that nearby. I feel so horrible now. I was doing so well I am trying to pick myself up today and move on.

    Has anyone had this dizzy experience while on induction? I don't recall feeling this way last time. however there were a lot of extenuating (sp) circumstances - heat, lack of sleep, over worked, etc..

    I will stay on my diet. I will get healthy and lose weight. There is nothing I could eat or drink that tastes as good as how I feel at this moment on this WOE ~ nothing!

    I haven't but I know others have. I know that while "Inducting" yourself into this WOE that you are lowering your overall blood sugar levels and this can cause some dizziness... I wonder if you drank enough water though. In the hot weather it is even MORE important to get enough water; and our bodies need a lot more then as well.

    I hope you're feeling better, and I hope your daughter is doing well.
    Have a Beautiful Day

      Thanks, she is fine, just dissappointed as we are leaving for vaca in Florida in two weeks! Yes, water is the one thing I did right. I drank between 80 and 100 oz of water each day lately. I think I was over tired, did not eat enough the day before plus the heat... I jsut hate that I wrecked it for yesterday and today.

        In DANDR, 2002, Dr. Atkins discusses the need to eat, nutritiously on a regular basis to sustain ketosis and avoid the insulin spikes during the day. Results are fairly predictable if one eats off plan. Sounds like that may have been what happened to you along with the exhaustion and heat.

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