Sugar Crash

[fizzwheel]

Urgh this is horrible... I've got a sweet tooth, now christmas and new year are out of the way I've cut right back on the amount of sweets and junk I've been eating.

Today I mostly feel like sh*te, I knew I would but not this bad.

I cant think straight, I go from being cold to warm really quickly and now I have a pounding headache.

Going cold turkey from a christmas sugary high is not fun.

[Alpinestarhero]

Water, drink water. I dont know why, but it might help

Tea aswell?

Beer?

Matt

[fizzwheel]

I'm drinking plenty of water and decafinated tea as well.

I am at this precise minute fighting the urge to go to the canteen and get a chocolate bar.

[Alpinestarhero]

maybe you should wean yourself off it, reduce your sugar intake to whatever level you think is best a bit grdually

like when people stop smoking and they have those patches of ever decreasing size

Matt

[Viney]

Dont resist....Resistance is futile.

*Wanders off to the chocolate machine*

I've started a complete diet for the sake of been overdrawn in my overdraft. My diet is called eat outta mums fridge not the fast food ones! But seriously I have been going past places like dominoes going mmm should I, then i go "No fatty no!"

[pmapp]

This might sound obvious, butdon't take any money to work.

At one point I was having bacon butties everyday, and the growing waist line to show for it. I started taking lunch with me to work, but no money - so I couldn't nip to the shop for a buttie or a chocy bar. This helped massivly in the waist department and also the bank department.

It'll only take a couple of days to get over it, and today is the worst day. I've done this before its just never been this bad before :shaking:

[kitkat]

well i watched half ton mum last night and its given me the incentive to keep on my diet. my bmi is a massive 32 but hers was 113.

taking it a stone at a time. first week - 5lb loss - woohoo

[Alpinestarhero]

My BMI (which, i must stress is a guildine and not gospel - it dosnt account for many factors) shows me to be borderline underweight

So i'll keep pushing the mince pies down me throat

We have some stale ones here you can have:D

[plowsie]

Morbidly obese by my BMI me :D

[kitkat]

i know bmi doesnt work for everyone, athletes, weightlifters but for general jo public its not a bad place to start. Im obese according to bmi and need to lose 4 stone. according to weight watchers I need to lose 5. i know im overweight and am going to lose weight for me. but also if I want to eat a bit of choc i will. i chose the high cocoa stuff and just have a square it cures me

[rob13]

Im overweight - 26/27 according to the BMI so I am looking to cut back slightly. Ive always been at the upper end of the acceptable anyway so my target is to lose a stone in weight and start hitting the gym more.

[Ed]

Relax. You don't look like you're about to peg it.

[Stig]

Fizz, If you have cut out caffeine from your diet. This will be the cause of your headaches.

Day two in the lets get thinner BigApe household.

I'm F*****g starving. :sad:

[plowsie]

I have a bit of muscle but mine mostly is a beer belly/food belly. Believe it or not there is a slight abdominal shape comin through for me, just dont look good sittin on a beer belly lol.

[plowsie]

Relax. You don't look like you're about to peg it.
Thanks mate :kiss:

HTH :D

I'm know what your going through fizz, i'm currently detoxing off the alcohol, not drank since boxing day, cold sweats, can't sleep properly, think i became stella dependant :drink:

[fizzwheel]

HTH :D

GIT !!! :D

I want to shift some weight. The more I loose the faster I will cycle. I'm just under 14st at the mo, I want to try and get down to 13 if I can get under that though it will be a bonus.

[plowsie]

Well i'm around the 18 stoner mark and i wanna be 14 ish, will be hard to do but i reckon i could do it, used to be a good centre midfielder last season, now i can run for 10 mins and i'm forked, i know thats fitness too but it all plays a part.

Keepin off the junk is hard and i find i'm eating just toast when i have a craving for summit unhealthy and i seem to do fine :)

And this one i keep telling my missus, 20 mins of rampant sexual intercourse loses a heck of a lot of calories, she wont believe me though :(

[fizzwheel]

I'm F*****g starving. :sad:

Ditto

White or Brown, White bread is full of junk, Brown toast would be much better for you.

[jambo]

Aw bless new year's resolutions. My BMI's about 17.4 so I think I'll carry on eating nice food.

Want to try and get more fruit & Veg in the diet though....

[sv-robo]

[northwind]

Sugar's the ultimate food, eat nothing but sugar and you not only get immensely fat, you also die of malnutrition :mrgreen:

[Pedrosa]

Fizz...Just how much chocolate,sweets and sugar have you been eating to feel this way? I find your condition completely mind boggling!:rolleyes:

I can concurr about the coffee, wicked stuff it is and I drink ridiculous amounts daily. This will change.

I kicked off a new regime today which involves large amounts of press ups and a variety of leg raising exercises. Fortunately all with the idea of toning up some more, rather than loose excessive body baggage.

[fizzwheel]

Erh quite alot :shaking:

I reckon probably at some point 3 - 4 bars of chocolate a day and then on top of that 3 or 4 cups of tea as well, possibly a huge take away coffee as well.

I think it was a combo of the sugar crash and the caffeine crash as well. I feel alot better today.

I can't stop eating! trying to replace everything I lost when i was poorley (and am still loosing!!!). Im craving alot of salt at the moment, anyone know why that might be?

[fizzwheel]

Your body needs a certain amount of salt, sounds like you either are or have been dehydrated possibly...

Have you have that stomach virus thats going around ? That might be the cause of it.

If so eitehr nip to the shops and get some Lucozade or something like that. Or failing that put some salt and sugar into a pint of water and drink that, It wont taste nice, but it will rehydrate you.

well if it's any consolation, i was only sick for one day! Haven't really felt poorly just drained of energy and just had to make sure there is a loo nea by!
Just stay in nice and warm all weekend and you should be fine!

[fizzwheel]

I felt like that for 3 or so weeks after I had the intial stomach upset which lasted 3 days.

Drink plenty of water, dont glug at it, just keep taking small sips from a glass or a sports drink bottle. Stick to plain food like toast, pasta, chicken etc and just eat what you can when you feel hungry.

And dont worry about the weight loss, if your still not well then go back to the Dr's again. The best way to tell how dehydrated you are is to look at the colour of your wee.... the darker the colour the more dehydrated you are. For a normally hydrated person it should be the colour of straw.

Try some lucozade or some sports drink it really is better than just drinking water.

If you find that the small glugs still make you ill, suck on ice cubes.... but whatever happens, get fluid inside you :)

I always found lemonade is best however pepsi's more fun as it tastes and smells exactly the same on the way out!
