Medifast and Low carbs :(

[MrsKimball804 0]

Has anyone else experienced the carb withdrawl- feeling so tired and crappy while on Medifsat? I am only on day 2 of a 4 week journey prior to surgery- And I feel so crappy. I can have nothing but the 5 Medifast shakes per day. I feel like I am in a fog :wub:

It gets easier and you will feel better. I am on day 9 and am finding it so much easier than a week ago. I also seem to have more energy then ever, but if you asked me last week, all I wanted to do was sleep - ( after eatting of course!)

Can you have crystal light or other no calorie drinks? I did find that having the liquids helped me feel like I was putting something in my stomach.

I love processed foods like white flour, sugar, all high in carbs (not so much veggies with carbs in them LOL) but honestly when I go on a high Protein low fat low carb diet I feel really wonderful. You'd think I would find it easier to stick on it becaused of that; I don't. (no such luck) but usually low/no carb (esp processed foods) means high high energy for me! Maybe you'll get that boost in a few days or so. The first few days I'm on it I'm so darned hungry, I don't know if I am tired or wired, I'm just mosly starved!
