What happened?

Diana · 09-22-2004, 05:02 AM

Yesterday was a full carb day, I ate I swear all day. I ate everything I know I shouldn't. Ice cream, chocolate, cresants, bread, PNB & Jelly, I got it all out of my system.... ok not yet by that means, but as far as the "it's been so long since I have had this or that..." Dumb maybe... gained? oh yes.... Ok so I jump back on, get into Ketosis and lose. Now from here on out if I want a PNB & Jelly, it will be Low carb. If I want Chocolate (which is rare) I will buy a piece of LC. Instead of this, I wont touch any Low Carb Products until I am maintaining, turns almost into a food reward that leads to my Binges, which I never had before Low Carbing!!!
So here I am .... odd thing is, I had energy like a 2 year old yesterday!!! It wasn't a eat get energy, then crash... it was all day like I cleaned the supply room, started shredding papers. My office is spotless... etc. WHAT GIVES??? I thought I had more energy on Low Carb, but yesterday was like someone lit a fuse under my rear! I was in a great mood- like I have been since starting LC. Another strange thing... My whole body hurts.. like aches..weird....

Any thoughts....?

Diana,
I love you.

I read your messages with interest.
My husband and I went away for a weekend not too long ago and I had my first "JUST LIKE YOURS" binge. I ached and ached so bad and had such a headache that I will only have low carb treats from now on..........like an 8 ounce hamburg instead of 4.

You may have had tons of energy BUT look what it did to you.
Long live 'low carb" ..........

Have a controlled carb day and so will I,
Susie

yeah but why do I feel like I have more energy?
I know it majorly messes you up, bloating... and being kicked out of Ketosis, I understand this...

But why the burst of energy? I thought I had more energy while in Ketosis.

And why do I feel sore all over? Yesterday wasn't a workout day.. its a dull ouch to touch

I am sure with all the calories and carbs it maybe 3 weeks before ketosis kicks in... Kidding... but I know it will be awhile.

I miss my Ketosis friend.... You learn and go on right?

Diana,
I have no clue why you have so much energy. Normally a sugar rush will give you energy but then you crash.
This is just what I think but I think sugar gets into your joints and into your system and cause the pain and ache. I know that it lasted quite a few days for me.
Everything is going to be just fine.
Just keep on track.
You've done great and yesterday was just well........yesterday. Today is a free start to a great low carbed day,
Susie

It is hard to explain exactly the different responses people get.

It may be a false positive response, similiar to the effect when you drink alcohol, you feel warm but actually are lowering your body temperature. Maybe you feel lots of energy but something else inside is going on and making your muscle sore.

Your body probably does not know what to do with all the sugar

(haha).

Yeah... My body doesn't like the stuff...... See I knew that too..

Day 1 back on it going well.... Ketosis hopefully by the weekend! Wahooo
