General Questions / Re: Dizziness~Dehydration

Dizziness is a bit better.  :) Mouth is bone dry all the time though. Pushing mega fluids (pure water.)  Energy was "ok" today. I might have to cut back on portions. I'm kinda up and down with the weight. I think I should try eating more frequent small meals. Some days I'm just eating two meals and a couple of small snacks throughout the day. Maybe that's slowing down my metabolism  :-\ 

Thanks you for inquiring about me Umpa.   ;) 

My best to you and yours...

Yes actually it did Moose61!  I probably am not taking in as much sodium as usual. I used to eat packaged food high in sodium mostly every day. Thanks for the tip   ;)

Thank you Tony for the warm welcome  :)  I can't wait till I feel that "energy."

I don't know if you have experienced this also, but I believe I am in ketosis. My breath smells fruity. I read online today that's from a low carb intake. Good thing is my body is using fat for energy but I read it can start muscle wasting and kidney problems  :o 

@Moose61: That does sound yummy in the morning but I don't know if the sodium will make me even more dehydrated. I'll have to look into it. Thank you  ;)

Hi Everyone:

I'm a newbie here. For the past week I have been reading and learning a lot from this forum. It's wonderful. I've been on FTS for 9 days and lost 6 lbs. so far  :)   

Occassionally I have dizziness and I have been very dehydrated. I drink A LOT of water but still feel dehydrated. Is this typical when starting out?

*I'm not a diabetic although I checked my sugar using hubby onetouch and it is 98.
*Blood pressure is fine.
*Eating 20-25 carbs per day.

Thank you!
