OK, so it's been about two and a half months since I started the low-carb routine. I've dropped about 30 pounds. HOORAY!!!
I've found that I can't go for long periods of time in ketosis. My body starts to act funny: I have no immunity, I get headaches, etc. However, I find that when I do eat a piece of bread or other product containing wheat, I get horrible indigestion and start to wheeze. There is probably an underlying food allergy at work here. I can go for about a week in ketosis, then I need to break the cycle and take a day off. That does NOT mean that I can go crazy with ice cream, etc!! In fact, I have lost my taste for ice cream.
I've been using Carb Solutions shake mix as a mainstay of my program. The chocolate flavor tastes good, and fills me up. The vanilla flavor is a nice change, plus I can add other flavorings to it. However, the last two days, I have had raging headaches after I have my Vanilla shake. This does not happen with the Chocolate. I wonder why? Anybody who may have an insight here, please reply. I have about 60 more pounds that I would like to get rid of, and don't want to stop now.
