Happy Sunday, !
✅ It’s true: feeling a little “off” after changing your diet is pretty common, and it can catch you by surprise.
Why can you feel worse when you’re taking steps to feel better?
👉 Here are a few possible causes:
● “Detox” symptoms: If you make big changes in the way you eat, your body has to get used to it, especially if you’ve been eating a lot of sugary or processed foods. This can cause headaches, fatigue, and irritability – but it usually only lasts a few days, tops.
● More fiber than you’re used to: Suddenly boosting your fiber intake can be hard on your digestive system. Try gradually increasing the amount of fiber you eat vs. sudden big changes.
● Dehydration: It's important to drink enough water (especially if you boost your fiber). If you're not getting enough fluids, you might start to feel worse.
● Lack of planning: It can be harder to stick to a healthy diet if you're not planning and preparing your meals in advance.
It takes time for your body to get used to a new way of eating. Go easy on yourself and go to bed early on those days if you can.
👉 Also: If you feel concerned or it hangs on longer than a couple of days, check in with your healthcare provider!
