Is this a result of my diet?

How long does it take the body to adjust to a new diet?

Basically, my diet has been eating one small meal at like 8PM(when they used to show Girlfriend lol) and just living off of water, greentea and peppermint tea. I run for one hour every morning when I wake up also. Right now I'm trying to eat SpecialK Cinnamon Pecan cereal with milk but I honestly feel like barfing. I can't eat it, so I'm basically wasting cereal.

How long does it take the body to adjust? Is this the result of my diet? I feel like barfing, I honestly don't even want to eat

Sometimes in the morning or after not eating for a period of time, it'll make my stomach queasy because its not used to the food. This is not good. You need nutrients! A diet where your stomach reacts negatively to food is bad. Get your system back on track. I believe that exercise is key in losing weight, if this is what you are trying to achieve. Your body needs protein and all those good nutrients and I think if it doesn't get it from food, then it harms the inside and something tries to recuperate and make up for the missing nutrients. I'm not sure. I'm not an expert in biology. But really, eating is important. Take little bites at a time. But eat. I do believe it is a result of your diet. No diet is worth feeling nauseous over. Change your view on food and dieting and the result you want to achieve. There are healthier, more enjoyable ways. Don't stress too much on it.

Are you feeling nausea? What exactly do you feel (and where) when you say you want to barf? Do you feel it in your stomach or in your head? Any dizziness induced by the thought of eating or does the thought of eating induce nausea?

I have no idea how long it would take your body to adjust to that diet because I've only ever learned about diets that are (probably) higher in calories than yours... so I don't think I could answer it, but my guesstimation is probably two or three months?

Um, you sound like you are fasting. This is horrible! You should at least have one small serving of lean meat, a serving of egg white and a few fruits. And that is just enough for two meals and that's pushing it. You are already having a mall meal at night so have a protein shake sometime for breakfast and at least a bit of food for lunch. Maybe a tomato or a salad. What you are doing is like the temporary diets that celebrities do. D you understand how bad that could possibly be for you?

Not sure its the best idea, because eventually you're not going to have the energy to do your runs. You need calorie intake, fuel to keep going so you don't want to narrow that down to next to nothing. I must give you credit though, you're one very determined girl that is really motivated in accomplishing her girls which is great. However that being said I think you're trying to get results too fast in too short of a time and it could be dangerous and you're overworking your body with too low of a calorie intake, your body won't adjust eventually you'll just feel more exhausted and low on energy.

this is a terrible idea. If you are going to try this, you might as well try intermittent fasting, google it. Its much easier than what you're doing and much more effective. plus you can eat more to lose fat.

[peace-love-couture]

right, and fasting is better

Sorry, not switching

[shenholds09]

soo I just googled this because I'm interested and I don't get it.. could ya help? just like how long to fast and then how long to eat like fast 6pm-noon (the next day) and then eat between noon and 6pm? I don't get it

[shenholds09]

it sounds like just eat three meals a day? and a lot of water and work out? sounds like a common diet to me not some fasting whatever

Your diet sounds horribly unhealthy =( You're going to permanently mess up your metabolism.. which will suuuuck big time because crash diets can't be sustained forever. I mean, eating one meal a day is bad enough.. but the one meal you ARE eating is sugary refined carbs with hormone filled milk. You'd lose more actual weight faster by eating lean protein and lots of vegetables (regularly throughout the day) The pain in your stomach is probably hunger pain from starving yourself! I did a 48 hour fast for charity one time and felt the same way after.

Everything she said plus that your weight loss results are more permanent when they are done with a healthy diet. After you stop dieting your metabolism is going to be so low that when you start eating normally, you're going to gain weight.

[ShesSoSilly]

Best answer.

[peace-love-couture]

nope, not my best answer

[justme20]

this is very unhealthy and I since you aren't eating your body will only store fat and keep the weight on instead of losing. if you want to lose weight eat 5-6 small proportioned meals each day every 3-4 hours around the same time to help your metabolism. you can fast for only a short time but you can't go on this diet longer than a month

[Nicki_Minaj]

its a result of your diet, your body will probably never fully adjust because you're not feeding it enough. we all go through phases, just make yours quick it sounds like your diet is making you sick.
