Unsure as to where to post this but feel free to move if it fits somewhere better!
So hello alll, I'm new to the site but no to weightloss but i've found a few questions that I was wondering if someone could help me out with.
1. Protien. I seem to be coming up with almost double my protien allowance every day. Everything else is fine and within acceptable limits. I wouldn't say that i'm overloading on protien, it's lots of lean meats egg whites etc so nothing processed and no rubbish but i feel that going so low on the carbs i need the protiens to fill me up. If i contiune with this, what impact will it have on my weightloss?
2. Water. I drink a lot of fluid anyway but have upped it. Only problem is i'm getting up in the night to use the bathroom now! I've tried not drinking past 8 but is there anything else i could do?
3. Headaches. I'm not hungry but at about 4pm every day i've got a cracking headache. Any reason why this could be? May it be because i have significantly dropped my carb intake? (i'm on week 2 now so should be used to it!)
So, if anyone has and ideas / thoughts / opinions on the above i woud be greatful for your help.
Go easy on me
Thanks

you could try this group. It has a lot of questions and answers, but on the protein, MFP has a ridiculously low level of protein. Should be about a gram per pound. I am at 120g of protein, if that helps...
Best of luck!!
