effects between meals?
anyone have a little dizziness between meals? I'm having a little today and it was the first time. Friday it felt like low blood sugar.

No dizziness in 3.5 years. I remember once or twice feeling shaky; don't know why, since I had not gone any longer than usual (and have often gone longer) without eating.

Don't forget -- your dizziness can be caused by any number of things other than the change in the way you're eating.

I had this to and it really scared me. I think I was overdoing it on the exercise and not eating enough of the good foods. What you put on your plate matters in the fact that you want things that are filling. I also think drinking more water will help.
Looking forward to hearing from others on this and there suggestions.

I was thinking I should have added that.Nicest of the Damned wrote:Yes. A couple of things that can cause dizziness that might be relevant at this time of year are dehydration and heat exhaustion.wosnes wrote:Don't forget -- your dizziness can be caused by any number of things other than the change in the way you're eating.

This is especially relevant since you are so new to NoS. One thing we are apt to forget is that most of our food is primarily made up of water and when we begin eating less (ala NoS), we are not consuming as much water as we were previously.Nicest of the Damned wrote:Yes.

I found that I needed to conscientiously add 2 glasses of water a day to avoid experiencing mild dehydration--a glass in the am on waking and another by lunch (in addition to my "normal" water/juice/coffee/tea regimen).

From a link in the (awesome) other thread "Resources which support No-Snacking" vis a vis feeling dizzy between meals.
Read the whole link...it's pretty good.When you eat every 2-3 hours, your body becomes dependent on a constant supply of food. The body will lose its built-in ability to tolerate missing a meal, and the blood sugar will crash and often crash hard.
In 2002, the New York Academy of Sciences published a report stating that all-day grazing can put you at risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The risk increases when insulin spikes after eating foods that have high glycemic values. If you eat only three meals a day, (even high-glycemic ones), your insulin levels have time to even out, says Victor Zammit, head of cell biochemistry at Hannah Research Institute in Ayr, Scotland. Conversely, if you eat high glycemic foods between meals, your insulin levels stay dangerously high.
Most cultures around the world still practice 2 to 3 meals a day without snacking. For most westerners who have become accustomed to snacking, having three meals a day will be a transition. Our western diet is loaded with short chain carbs, sugars and fast burning processed foods. Give yourself some time to make this transition. You can even start with four meals to make it easier.
When I eat too many sweets in one sitting on S days, 1-2 hours later I feel dizzy and my eyesight becomes blurry.
It goes away in another 1-2 hours.
