in Health and Weight Loss
I haven't been on this site for about a month. My weight hasn't changed which is a good thing.
But I stopped the diet because my body decided to hate me.
First.. My face, neck, and chest broke out!
second... I had small red spots on my body (they didn't ich or bother me.. they were just red)
Third.. after only having a week off of my period i started up again... I was on my period for 16 days straight.
I went back to eating normal when the third one went too far.... It might have not been the diet... but it was definitely out of the ordinary for me.

Has any one had any of these things happen to them?

I was also under a little bit of stress at work but it wasn't anything i couldn't handle.. i've been through worse.

    YEAH this i have heard can happen, but don't look at it like a diet.. look at it as you want to be healthy. YOU have to eat to loose weight and portion control is number one in my eyes.. i can eat like a pig but what i realized is if i portion my meals healthy and eat in moderation and every few hours it helps... GOOD LUCK and hopfully all the problems will go away.. :smile:

    i broke out in spots which i havent had in years but they have gone now
    its probably the body detoxing due to healthy eating

    Yeah, the breakouts are the same, it's your body's natural detoxification process now that you're no longer feeding it toxins. It's trying to get itself to peak performance again, so everything works as it should, including your metabolism.

    Sucks while it's happening, but if you suffer through it, your skin will actually get a lot better than it was even before you started.

    I've heard of the period thing, too, but never experienced it. You could check with your doctor about it, but I'd try not to let it discourage you from making the choice to be healthier. :smile: In the end, the benefits will far outweight these challenges.
