Feeling Tired and Lightheaded

by Liz Mendola

1. Today is my 4th day on the diet and I am very tired and have been feeling lightheaded. Is this normal?

2. Tomorrow is day 5 with beef and tomatoes. I do not like tomatoes. What can I substitute?

3. Everyone says that I will only lose water weight and will gain it back once the 7 days are over. Is this true?



Hi Liz,

1. Everybody reacts different. Try to drink enough water or tea through the day to purify your body. Take also a good multivitamin and minerals daily. Eat cabbage soup whenever hungry. Usually the tireness and lightheaded feeling disappears within a day. If not we recommend to consult your doctor.

2. Concerning tomatoes, find here an answer to a similar question: Tomato Substitutes

3. Of course you will lose water with the cabbage soup diet, but not only. The newer cabbage soup diet plans add protein shakes to the diet. That's why we recommend the convenient cabbage soup diet program with added protein. By this your body will burn fat instead of the so important muscle mass.

All the best,
Gabriela
