I've decided to stop eating foods with sugar as I know its one of the causes of not being able to retrieve a better body, since I have been working out for over 11 months now. \n\nI haven't been eating any foods with sugar for 2 weeks and it's getting harder now. I seem to get headaches and tiredness all the time. Is there anything I can do to feel better.

try going vegan or vegetarian (still have cheese and dairy).. you'll be shocked. Chances are the headaches and fatigue are some other food you're eating. You need to detox your system too, the health food stores carry allot stuff for that, they can help you pick out what will work best. increase your roughage and quit eating processed foods. this includes fast foods. That stuff in poisonous!\n\n If you are still having problems find some one with a QXCI/EPFX or a SCIO bio-feed back machine. They can help you pinpoint allot of problems. Especially pain, stress and fatigue related problems. Usually one or more of the local health food stores will know where one is. If not e-mail me and I can probably find you a practitioner in your state (very worth the price and travel)

The fever like feeling you feel , espeacially when ovalting is usually magnified if you eat sugar. sugar tends to raise your somting level that makes you get hot and uncomfortable, it suddenly drops and you get hot and tired. watch your diet at those times, stay away from caffiene and chocolate or any kind of those empty carbs candies,I know that the body will crave the sugar, but you are better off eating fresh fruit, grab an apple or an orange. also, go to the doc if the pain is bad. it can be a nuumber of things, some bad some not so bad, but have it checked out , ok?

I quit smoking back in February.  I smoked about a pack a day for years.  During the withdraw I had a headache for 3 days, and I was grouchy for about 2 weeks.  They say you have to replace one habbit with another.  What I did was started sucking on jolly ranchers and chewing bubble gum.  I also started exercising.  I have never felt better.  I noticed a difference in my breathing after only 2 weeks!!  Just hang in there, and the days will pass and you won't even think about it anymore.  It's also great to go someplace and not worry about being looked down on because of being a smoker.

Your blood pressure, pulse and weight sound o.k., but I think you should go and see your doctor just to make sure.\n\nHave you had any blood sugar problems previously?  What is your hemoglobin levels like now?  Did you feel any better after you ate?

Doctor...doctor...doctor....go see your doctor or a nutritionist!\n\nAre you on oral meds?  How long have you been diagnosed with DM?  After a certain amount of time, if your diet doesn't control your blood sugars, your doctor may consider treating you with oral medication.  What is your weight like?  That could be a factor, too.

i just came off of a 5 day fast, and you really dont want to do it. yes i lost weight, but i felt dizzy, i almost fainted, i had a constant headache, and i was in a bad mood the whole time. the reason i stopped was because my boyfriend asked me to, and im glad he did because i started eating yesterday and i feel so much better. i really dont recomend fasting.if you want to talk more then just IM me.

I have the same problem. If I go usually more than 6 to 8 hours without eating, I get looney. I start shaking, cant concentrate and feel like I'm going to pass out. I try to make sure I have a snack with protein with me at all times. Protein is better than sugar for a quick fix until you can eat. If you eat something sweet, it wears off quickly. I'm not a diabetic either.

Avoid sugary foods like soda, cookies, candy bars, etc., these kind of foods will only spur your cravings to greater frequencies.  If you must have something sweet, eat fruit; your body processes natural sugar without converting it to fat, and you need fruit anyway.  Stay away from fruit drinks as they contain alot of extra processed sugar.\n\nTry drinking tea if you can't drink just plain water (or put a slice of lemon in - more fruit).  If you don't like tea or coffee, try the water and lemon/lime trick, but DON'T add any sugar.\n\nMaybe you need a "going to the gym" buddy - can you ask your best maid to go with you or one of your bridesmaids?  This could be a great way to add some unique memories for your wedding preparations.\n\nIf you want to regulate your diet, be consistent with meal times and don't skip meals.  Pick veggies like carrots, celery sticks, or green pepper to satisfy that need to snack and eat something crunchy.  This will get more veggies into your diet too.\n\nI'm hypoglycemic (I can't skip meals - kind of the opposite of diabetes), so if I start a headache from not eating, a little bit of cheese (like a cheese stick) or milk will tide me over until mealtime.\n\nGood luck and congratulations!

It could be due to your lifestyle.. i used to have the same problem. I went to the doctors and he just suggested exercise daily, eat healthier and try and cut out refined sugars. I got real good sleeps and woke up feeling awesome :)

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

i'm sure this varies ALOT from person to person, but i think by the end of three days i was eating close to normal, and not feeling pain after a week.  the first three days are the worst, each one getting a little bit better.  room temperature liquids helped alot.  nothing hot, nothing too cold.  my best to you

This is not copied from a website, it is right out of my head, and not 10 pages long.  The brain cannot burn fat or protein, only carbohydrates.  When you do not eat any carbohydrates, the brain has little food, so it goes into emergency starvation mode, where the liver turns fat into ketone bodies, which the brain can burn as energy, but not as efficiently as carbohydrates.  This is why you feel dizzy, nauseous and have killer migraines.\nThe reason you can only lose the first 15 pounds and not the last 10 is probably because your weight goal is unrealistic.  Your body does not want to get rid of all of its fat as much is needed to cushion forces at the joints and fat surrounds many large nerves from being crushed when we move.  At this point the body stops burning fat and turns back to protein as the main energy source, often tearing apart your skeletal muscles in order to use them as energy, which is why you don't feel like exercising.  You should only be on a low carb diet for about 2 weeks to avoid doing serious damage to your body.  After the 2 weeks, start adding in small amounts of carbs in the form of more vegetables and fruits.  Most people are too lazy to read the entire Adkins book, and only live the first few chapters, but by the end of the book he has you on the Mediterranean diet, eating mainly salads, olive oil and fish for the rest of your life.  Those two weeks of no carbs are just to get your insulin under control so that the rest of the diet actually works.

I am currently trying to work with my body to prevent having to take insulin. I have brought my sugar has come down by walking. What I found surprising was that starches turn to sugar. If you are just reducing sweets, I found out, think again. If you have rice, have brown rice, whole wheat instead of white flour and I have just laid off the potatoes for now. It seems hard at first, but, one you find out where those sneaky buggers hide, it helps a lot. Booze turns to sugar too, especially beer. Watching the diet and walking really help. The walking especially works because it is a way of burning up excess sugar. Good Luck, I have reduced my sugar from 8 down to 6.2 in three months. Go to your pharmacist and see if he will go over your husband's medications and advise you if any could cause a higher sugar reading. Ask him to put this information in to the computer to avoid any meds that aggravate his situation.

Exercise is great. I went through a period of making myself not having any expectations of anything just so I couldn't be disappointed with anything. Also not everything in life suits us, just like people have nut allergies, they stop having nuts. If someone or something upsets you lay off them for a while. keep wellx

I've heard both theories as well, I had mono a few years ago, I didn't fully feel well for about 6 months. I had no energy, and tired very easily. Just take it easy, get A LOT of rest. There is nothing you can really do except make yourself comfortable. Hopefully your symptoms won't last that long, mine lasted about 3 weeks, and then I was just really tired...feel better!!!

You have probably been told drink water or crystal light.  I suggest green tea.  The Japanese kind, and it is usually sugarless, but it helps you a lot.\n\nGood luck.
