palumbo diet

[laslo101]

so i decided to do this diet and i followed perfectly the first week untill i began getting crazy headaches, and very dizzy and tired feeling is this normal for a first week? or did my body have a bad reaction to having no carbs i would like to retry the diet because of how successful it is for so many people but juts wondering if it is noral to feel the way i did thanks.

Up your fats and take an advil. You'll be fine a day or two later.

Sounds a little neurotic to me. I don't know what your normal diet is like but you may feel a little low energy in the first couple of weeks of the palumbo template. That's about the extent of it.

normal diet was very clean and had one cheat meal every 2 weeks.

this is the same withdawl symptoms i get. whenever i drastically restrict carbs my body responds like this. Nothing to worry about.

It's normal for going low/very low carb, like everyone else has said, it's withdrawal. It'll usually take around 2 weeks, depends on the individual, to get used to that particular type of diet.

ok im keeping with it this time no matter what il keep updated if symptoms go away

I watched a video where Palumbo said never to take an advil because it's anti-inflammatroy and hinders muscle growth. That guy is a wealth of knowledge.

Never heard that before and I've known many people to take advil because it is an anti-inflammatory. I look at it like if the pill is going to help get rid of my pain and help me hit the gym then I will take it :)

i think the headaches are caused by lack of carbs to power the brain. All i know is take a shit load of fish oil everyday to keep those headaches away. And advil or ibuprofen isnt good because it hinders the natural growth cycle for muscle, muscles must be inflammed first to recover and grow

[laslo101]

havn't had headaches 4 days in so far(no advil). less tired feeling too. don't know why i was so much worse last time around but i will keep updating. thansk again for all the advice.

Fish oil is an anti-inflammatory as well.

Fish oil is an anti-inflammatory as well.

Probably not as strong as an advil though

[JacktheThriller]
