Side effects.

Having returned yesterday to SSing, I did experience a few side affects. Last night I had a little tingling in my left foot and hands. I did experience this at the beginning of the diet when moving into Ketosis, and my CDC advised me it would pass, as it did do after a couple of days. I'm sure it will pass again as my body gets use to SSing again.

Its surprising how a small amount of real food consumed durring AAM week can have an affect on your body!

This week I have also decided to give the peanut bars a rest. The bars are slightly higher in calories than the satchets about 30 Kcal or so and in some cases can cause people to come out of ketosis and hence the reason why only one per day is permitted. I know even with the bar I'm in Ketosis, I just wanted to kick start things again after 'add a meal' week, so in a sense I'm mentally starting the diet again.
When I initially started I did not have a bar for the first week of the diet and had only one every other day during the second week. (not really suppose to have a bar during first two weeks), this did not effect ketosis or my weight loss for that week though, and I felt I needed something solid in my diet!
So as I start my next 4 weeks on SSing I guess I will endure a few symptons over the coming days, I expect these to subside as I get back into the swing of things.

I post regulary on http://www.minimins.com/ regarding my weight loss. This site is fantastic in my opinion and has been a great support. Many of the members there are seasoned CDer's and have a wealth of experience to add. They also offer great encouragement at all times. I seem to visit the site on a daily basis and always leave it feeling better about myself and the diet. Its great knowing I'm not the only one on this diet and not alone. I thank everyone on that site who has offered words of encouragement and support. Its much appreciated. Thank you. xxx
