Hi<\/p>\n
\u200b<\/p>\n
I remember the very first time I cleaned up my diet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I felt like crud. I had a headache, my stomach wasn\u2019t happy, and I was (to say the least) super grouchy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The good news is, those feelings went away pretty quickly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the fact is, feeling a little \u201coff\u201d after changing your diet is pretty common, and it can catch you by surprise \u2026.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because how could you feel\u00a0worse<\/i>\u00a0when you are taking steps to feel\u00a0better<\/i>?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If it happens to you, here are a few possible causes:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Detox symptoms:<\/b>\u00a0When you change the way you eat, your body has to get used to it. This can cause headaches, fatigue, and irritability. The good news is, this is usually temporary and you\u2019ll start feeling better as your body gets used to the new foods.<\/p>\n
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0More fiber than you\u2019re used to:<\/b>\u00a0If you have been eating a low-fiber diet and suddenly start loading up on it, it can take your digestive system a while to adjust. Try gradually increasing the amount of fiber you eat instead of making big changes.<\/p>\n
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Dehydration:<\/b>\u00a0It’s important to drink enough water throughout the day (especially if you boost your fiber). If you’re not getting enough fluids, you might start to feel worse.<\/p>\n
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of planning:<\/b>\u00a0It can be harder to stick to a healthy diet if you’re not planning and preparing your meals in advance! This can make it harder to eat enough food and\/or eat balanced meals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just keep in mind that it takes time for your body to get used to a new way of eating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
