Day 10 Update

[sammyzip50]

Well I am still a bit disappointed as I am still feeling quite rough. I thought by now and being in ketosis the heavy head and feeling weak would have passed and this so called euphoria is still to come. I am drinking more than enough water and having three meals a day with snacks in between.

I am technically in the cruise phase though it has been PP days since day one however I lost 5 pounds and that was officially last Friday on day 5 and it is now day 10. I am starting to wonder that I am not suited to this diet and that the weight loss doesn't outweigh the suffering, to be honest.
I have to really be productive at work most of the time with deadlines, consistent intense concentration and doing my PhD part time. So it is full on with reading and reading… It has been a hard slog that I thought would have sorted itself out by now.

Any thoughts?

You need to start eating vegetables. You're probably not getting enough vitamins and minerals from PP days, unless you're taking supplements. 10days of PP is far too long for the amount you need to lose. I'm losing a stone more than you and I only did 6days straight.

Don't be scared of veggies, Sammy ... fill your boots and your body will thank you xxx

Thanks for the feedback. I have been taking supplements and my PV day starts on Friday. I am doing the five PP then PV. Thinking about it though some people who do other ketogenic diets don't have food at all and the headaches stop after the first few days and have bursts of energy? Same priniciples?
