elsie312's Journal, 29 Jan 07

Well, it seems that I'm going to have to stop this particular diet. It's really unfortunate, but it's due to health reasons and my doctor is having me see a nutritionist to find something that 'better suits' my needs.

Basically, I've been getting horrible headaches, I mean - KILLER - headaches. It's been hindering my ability to get any physical activity or do anything else productive - such as go to school.

Also, I'm prone to having extremely low blood pressure, which can lead to serious health issues - I've been on a 'high sodium' diet most my life. It sounds weird and the opposite of what most people are told, but it's what I have to do.

Basically, I have to find an eating plan that allows for my salt intake and that reduces the frequency of my migraines.

I hope you all are successful in your weightloss and thank you for all your support.

I was just looking around at some of the other diets and saw your post. I know how hard it is to deal with migranes, I have that problem too. If you're looking for a plan that's a little more forgiving on the sodium intake, take a look at the South Beach Diet. According to the book, as far as sodium goes you should follow the guidelines your doctor suggests. Hope you find something that works! Don't give up, this door may be closed but chances are you'll find an open window. :)
