DO NOT DO A "NO CARB DIET" !! I went to the.....

[Slaiv]

hospital last night :'(

omg.... i felt like CRAP !!!!

well yesterday i wanted to try a no carb diet, in hopes of shedding body fat, but no sir... i will never, ever EVER cut my carbs out again

for breakfast i had my protein drink, 7oz tuna fish with just 1 rice cake (42g Pro, 11g carbs) and for lunch i had protein drink, more 7oz tuna fish with some vegetables (42g pro, 5g carbs)

about 1 hour later than the lunch, i had me a 2oz beefjerky (28g prot, og carbs)

so up until 3:30pm yesterday, i had consumed 102g pro, 16g carbs....

at about 4:00pm, i had some really REALLY bad diahrea, and some fever chills, i got home and i felt really crappy! went to the bathroom about 9 times and i threw up about 3 times, food and blood too !!

felt like that until i couldnt take it no more, it was 11:23pm and i went to the hospital

i told the doctor everything that i have mentioned to you guys before and he told me was i tryin the atkins diet? i was like whats an atkins diet?

he explained and i was like yea i guess that is what i was going for, and he said it dangerous for your health....

needless to say, i missed my oatmeal breakfast and my fruits, and i missed my brown rice for lunch :'(

so unless your more educated in how to approah this diet (i sure wasnt) dont do it, you can cause some serious damage to your self being....

but as for me... im going back to my regular diet, i like the results im gettin so far and im happy, i dont need to go to no extreme as restricting myself to certain carbs

hope you guys found this helpful

I hear you have to drink massive amounts of water or you might get sick, sorry to hear you got that messed up bro

[Slaiv]

i didnt drink alot of water, just when i got thirsty

and funny thing is, i had cotton mouth all day !!!! i felt thirsty all the time, but whenver i would drink water, i would throw up :'(

[smokeyd]

o wow man that sounds nasty, im doing about a 40 carbs a day now and am not having any problems but i try to drink over a gallon of water a day not including shakes and so on

[taiboxa]

i have gone no carbs for 2 weeks str8 when depleting.. its not .. really big deal at all.. blood glucose is low but the body can still synthize everything it needs via amino acids.

i really dont see that being attributed to low carb in any way.

[JC2007]

Yes. Sounds like something else was wrong....

[Slaiv]

could it have been that i ate 2 much tuna fish?

7oz for breakfast

7oz for lunch

[taiboxa]

not likely unless it was prepaired shitly

[Slaiv]

well it came in packages (starkist brand) and i put 1 tblsp of mayo and 1 tblsp of relish

[dedic8ed1]

Definelty sounds like more of something else to cause all that drama.I've gone 4 sometimes 6 weeks without carbs,but always took multivitamins and drank plenty of coffee and plenty of water.

I've gone 2 months without carbs (except for 2 cheat days) and I never had any of those symptoms. A no carb diet will not make you throw up blood... as far as I know.

[Slaiv]

what could have caused all that then?

[taiboxa]

really blood work and stool samples would be only way to know.

[RANA]

A no carb diet should not have done that to you, plus getting sick that quick cutting carbs could not have done that to you

[timtim]

better tell the millions of successful atkins people they better stop!

seriously, figure out the true culprit of your issues first and then blame the no carbs.

[ottomaddox]

How about food poisoning?

[Slaiv]

yea thats what the dr. said, but how could i get food poisoning from starkist sealed packaged tuna?

maybe you didn't wash your hands? j/k

But I agree with the other bros, low-carb shouldn't be doing that to you....unless you hopped onto it so fast instead of easing into it that your body couldn't adjust in time (with changing the enzyme profiles and all)...but still, that's still a far stretch.

[Slaiv]

i did jump into in pretty hardcore, from one day eating around 180+ carbs, to suddenly only eating 24g carbs in 7hrs :'(

That still should not cause those kinds of problems. Either way good luck and try it again, remember no one likes a quiter

If you were doing a low carb diet then carrots shouldn't have even been on the menu. A low carb diet is just that low carb....first two weeks no more than 20 grams of carbs....14 days later you'll be in ketosis. After 14 days you can up the carbs to 60 grams per day. one cheat meal every 14 days there after until you drop the weight you're looking to drop. Until you get into ketosis you won't be dropping anything.

Personally I like to jumo start my diet with a day fast then carve out all the carbs. Generally I can get into a decent ketosis state within 8-10 days.

should i sue Chili's ?!

No. If they go out of business I'll have to kill you if I can't get an order of shan*** bonless chicken......they put a decent burn on the bird.

[Slaiv]

It could have a million things..dehydration, food poisoning...I cut carbs for a month once. Still do now, but for no longer than a week or so at once.

What did the bloodwork show from the hospital? Throwing up blood is never good, you may have a serious internal problem. As many of the posters have stated, going no carb would not cause this.
good luck
