How long have you been on low carb? If you are just starting out,
constipation is expected as a side effect. Try taking some psyllium each night. I used to use just plain o' psyllium husks, but I think you can find sugar-free Metamucil. That might taste better. When I first started (Atkins Induction), I felt dizzy and otherwise out-of-sorts until all of the glucose flushed out of my system. It takes about 3-5 days. But afterward, I felt wonderful; had overflowing energy and my mood improved greatly. What diet are you doing? Or are you doing it on your own? If you don't start to feel better (dizziness, nausea) in a few days, you may want to see your doctor. It could be something else, or low carb may not be for you. I know of at least one colleague of mine who tried low carb (by the book) and she actually got worse from it (she also had underlying, undiagnosed heart problems.) -- Linda 296/203/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 http://home.att.net/~lewis_linda/index.html "Torme" wrote in message om...

If you've just started - nausea is common the first several days but generally disappears all by itself. Taking a multi-vitamin is important. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/208/170 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spr...=/55b8&.src=ph Size: 24W / 14 / 10 |
