there have been rave reviews on this diet plan, claiming it is basically a miracle diet, just stick below 500 cals one day then have 'whatever you want' the next day, it lowers choesterol, helps asthma and a whole host of other health problems you may have. having done this diet now for over 2 weeks i just wanted to give the flip side, as there is a downside to it, and whilst i seem to be in the minority i felt it has a place so that anyone thinking of embarking on this diet can know all of the facts on it.
the first week of doing this i felt great, i supposedly lost 3 pound, and all was going well. i did some exercis eon my DD during the first week and felt very very ill on the second DD to the point of almost fainting, i couldnt breath etc, so i decided to switch my exercise days to UD, but on my DD i started having palpatations, i had a dermatitis breakout-the worst one ive had in over 5 years, i got a rash on my legs that i usually get when i have an allergy attack, now i have suffered with allergic reactions since i was 16 and i know my triggers and this has come out of no where, ive done nothing different and havent had a rash on my legs this bad since i was 17, ive got mouth ulcers, cold sores, my face is swollen, my hands and feet are also swollen, i am constipated, and yesterday i felt like i needed to urinate and couldnt go, it was awful...it took me over an hour. these symptoms have only come on since doing this diet. its the palpatations that are most worrying, yesterday was the worst, they were happening constantly and it was making me feel very anxious and scared, id had chest pains on my UD also. now this could all be total coincedence but i feel like my body has gone into shock or something. in theory this diet is brilliant, in reality FOR ME its been a nightmare the past few days, im gutted it hasnt worked for me as it seemed like the perfect solution but its not worth risking my health.
as i have said i seem to be in the minority and perhaps it is just a coincedence but as this diet is very new there arent many people doing it and i think its good to have a balance, as if the same thing happens to someone else then its clear its the diet, if i remain the only person then its just been coincedence. i would recommend if doing this diet, that on your UD you eat very healthy, as i didnt cos i felt i could have whatever i wanted on those days, it could have been this that was the cause of all my ailments so thought it was worth a mention.
good luck JUDDDERS, im sad to leave you as youve all been lovely but i have to put my health first
i hope that its just coincedence and no one else experiences these symptoms but if they do id be interested to hear from you.
