Day 5. Health & Safety

Last night I didn’t sleep well, I woke up around 3am feeling slightly sick and dehydrate even though I had a lot to drink before bed and during the day, ie. 3 pints of water before bed. I also felt uncomfortable in the lower back and stomach areas. Kind of like a bloated feeling. To be honest I was a little concerned, but this morning I felt fine again. Its probably down to my body changing dietary behaviors.

11:30 lunch satisfied me for most of the day, even after volleyball up until dinner time @ 18:00, I just wasn’t feeling hungry. Am amazed to be honest, how suppressed my appetite is at the moment with a good breakfast and lunch.

Hey I kind of broke the Atkins Induction code this morning as well, but don’t tell anyone…! I did this by having a small bowl of fruit and fibre flakes with Soya milk. Although Soya milk is not so bad because of its high protein and fat content (+ low carb properties), fruit and fibre flakes on the other hand are. Basically fruit and fibre Bran Flakes contain a wee bit of net carbs, in fact I worked it out to be around 10g to my very small portion. You may wonder why I ate them, but let me tell you, it wasn’t because I was craving, just because the way I was feeling during the night. I nearly managed to keep to my 20 net carbs daily limit just slight went over my limit by 2 carbs… opps, as you can see below:

I want to mention how I am feeling at the minute, although I feel fine, I do have this constant bloated congested uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, nevertheless saying this I still haven’t met any energy loss, lack of concentration or had any mood swings :o) Nevertheless I will keep an eye on how I feel.

Ok Just a short post today, because I have plenty of University work to do. Ciao for now :oD
