Morning, it’s day 5 for me. I’ve had another bad nights sleep – restless and dreaming of cakes (no joke! Lol) the past 4 days I’ve been fine, felt ok and actually really alert. …. but this morning I feel terrible- shaky and weak. I’ve done many detoxes in the past, at least once a year and I always sleep badly on them all so that’s no different but I was not expecting to feel so rough today. I made myself a smoothie for breakfast with raw cacao and banana for a bit of a boost to see if it helps so here’s hoping. I have had an Epsom salt bath and it’s helped. I’m glad I’m not working today or I’d really be struggling 🙁
On the plus side I’ve been really good and stuck to the plan 100% (within the guidelines but doing my own recipes) I definitely have lost weight but I don’t know how much. I’m writing this as a heads up to people that this may not be a smooth ride but it’s not impossible- hang in there! . Someone on fb has told me they felt this way yesterday so I feel better reading that. I’m now tucked up in bed with the tv remote and my fizzy water- bliss!

Hi snackerlady
I have read a few other posts from people who have had cold-like and hangover-like symptoms. I felt nauseous and shaky on day 5 and finished work early on day 6 as I felt wiped out. I don’t think its surprising; we have severely restricted our cal intake and are forcing our bodies to fuel themselves in a totally different way. But I am on day 8 now and feeling much better. So hopefully it will pass for you too.

Thanks Janet1973, that is good to know 🙂
I made it through the day without a slip though so i’m proud of myself. I really need to see this through, my health and future depend on it. I don;t want it to be another one of those diets that I can’t stick at.
Glad you’re feeling much better! xx
