Ill from dieting?

Options
I started the clean and lean diet two days ago and woke up today feeling really weak, hot and can feel my heart beating. Would this have anything to do with having no carbs/sugar or could I just genuinely be coming down with something?

    Probably. your brain only functions properly when theres carbs/sugar. Our brains are picky they only take carbs/sugars as fuel. If your brain is not functioning properly, then your body wont be too since the brain requires to send out signals/hormones to the other parts of the body so that the whole body functions properly.

    When I first started dieting I had the WORST headaches, every day, for 2-3 weeks. I used to sit at my desk and not be able to concentrate on the screen, it was horrible.

    I think it's just while your body detoxes, and gets used to your new diet.

    I'd suggest lots of water, and it will get better eventually. Unless, of course, you are genuinely becoming ill!!
