Hi, I’m in the second week of the plan and have have started to lose weigh, sleep better, wake up feeling more refreshed and no real hunger pangs (so far). The only thing that I have noticed is that I’m having to pee much more than before. Before the diet I always made sure I drank plenty of fluids and have not made any significant changes to the amount I drink. However, I am peeing much much more and also need to get up most nights to relieve the bladder. Is this a result of the diet, has anyone else experienced similar problems. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi,
it sounds completely normal to me, especially in the first couple of weeks.
Week 1 you would start to lose fluid anyway as the sugars that are bound to water in your cells are rinsed from your body. After that, it’s really just the results of the high fluid intake.
You don’t say if you are diabetic, but high urination in diabetics is one of the body’s ways of getting rid of excess sugar.

Hi Bill1954, thanks for the reply. My GP told me that I have insulin resistance and a step away from Type 2. I guess that I have a lot of sugar bound water to lose as I started the plan at 120kg ( almost 19 stone in old money) and have lost 5kg in just 10 days. That’s a whole bucket of water.

Oh yes but a proportion of that will be fat.
5Kg is not to be sniffed at, imagine how much lard or butter that represents.
You are well on the way, exciting times ahead 🙂
