I have about 3 stone to lose and started last Monday, cut out ALL sugar, started drinking lots of water, taking vitamins, eating a lot of protein and veg, etc. etc. I had the worst headache Monday evening and I think this was sugar withdrawal...I've always had a lot of sugar in my tea and coffee as well as having a sweet tooth.
A week later I'm feeling like I've maybe lost a lb or 2 (haven't weighed myself to confirm) but I definitely feel less bloated and just "lighter," like I'm not weighed down by the shit I was putting in my belly!
Anyway, woke up this morning with the beginnings of a sore throat and I feel on the edge of a cold...which is annoying! I'm not doing this just for weightloss but for overall better health. I was struggling to breathe and was getting heart palpitations so I've really upped the antioxidants in my diet and started having vitamin C and Co-Q10 supplements daily.
Is this a normal thing? My friend who is lost a lot of weight recently said "it's your body's way of detoxing" but it might just be a coincidence. Anyone experience something similar?
