Im on VLCD14 and today, yesterday and even a little Tuesday I have had a really bad headache absolutely no energy and not really hungry but wanting to eat. Sometimes I do have to stop myself because at times I do think that im really hungry. Whats going on? Why dont I feel as good as I did earlier?

Sally..you may be detoxing. Sorry to jump in on Colleen's post. Usually, the worst of it is in the first few days, but I've read that detoxing while shedding fat is kind of like peeling the layers of an onion back...each layer may have its own set of "yucky stuff" & toxins. So, you, theoretically, on a long round, could experience a detoxing slump 2-4 times, during the protocol. Of course, that's speaking from a knowledge of detox fasts, but, since the principle is the same, and we are shedding lots of fat during this, it makes sense to expect the same.

The solution basically is to push through it & maybe employ some of the "detox helps" that have been mentioned here & other places (like the detox bath, dry brushing, sauna, whirlpool, etc). If it's not that, then my guess would be that it's a dosage or potency issue, but I'm betting on the detox. Some ppl have a rougher reaction than others. I've read a ton of different reactions from people on here...rashes, cold/flu-like symptoms, etc.

Hang in there!

Sorry. I was getting new fiber optics service installed today! Lightning fast! :-)

Remind me of the dose we settled on, Sally. and Angela could be right and you're detoxing. A headache is not uncommon when that's going on. I'm concerned about the possible hunger though.

Sally,
If it helps to know someone else is experiencing what you are, I am feeling the same thing. I'm on VLCD13 and had no problems with headaches or really weakness/hunger to start with, but just last night and today have a really bad headache and feel pretty weak...I was going to try to walk today but decided to just take it easy. So maybe it is the delayed detox thing...hope you start feeling better. :)

I meant to say a skip day this week.
