I've been feeling strange lately on raw til 4... It's a combination of feeling energetic & also dizzy w/ brain fog. Like I'm hyped up on the sugar from fruits, but I'm lacking something essential... I'm starting to feel kind of sceptical about eating this way because this is the 2nd attempt I've made and the 2nd time I've felt these same symptoms.

"feeling energetic & also dizzy w/ brain fog" is how I often feel when I go salt deficient.
Some times my muscles will also feel weak while I still feel energetic, but if it progresses farther I get drowsy. When you feel that way you could try dissolving 1/4 tsp of salt in a cup of water and drinking it down. If you start to feel better within 15 minutes (often as little as 5 minutes, for me) you were simply hyponatremic and need to be more careful about getting adequate salt intake. Salt deficiency is getting quite common in the west as salt-phobia keeps getting spread. In my town pharmacies actually limit people to buying only 1 bottle of salt pills because every summer when people finally get told by their doctor that salt deficiency is why they always feel dizzy, fogged out, and weak they go and try to buy 20 jars of salt pills ![]() Properly dilute salt water tastes better and is better for your stomach tho. |
Yesterday I ate about 1800 cals... Which isn't really too bad since I only weigh 117 lbs. But I still felt weak and off. I hate to say it, but I feel like I can eat the same amount or calories and feel completely normal when eating a whole foods based omni diet. Why is this?

I felt a lot better today. Not 100%, but better. 2 things I did differently: I drank some coconut water instead of water only.. (which has sodium).. I also had bananas for breakfast and veggie sushi for lunch. So the rice and veggies would give me slow-releasing energy.
So it might very well have been a combination of low sodium and the fruit energy just going through me way too fast and making me crash.. I'm just a little confused because, for example, Freelee is always advocating "no salt" and eating "90% of your calories from fruit" ... What's your opinion on this? |
