Feeling worse on the gestational diabetes diet?!


Question: I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It explains a lot because I've gained weight rapidly without changing my diet, have high levels of amniotic fluid and at 29 weeks my daughter's weight is estimated at 3.9 lbs! Since the diagnosis last week, I have been following the diet religiously and have been eating small meals every two hours, cutting out sugar and juices and counting carbs. And I have to say that I feel AWFUL. I feel tired and lethargic and feel hungry all the time, and even feel nauseous at times. I felt MUCH better before I was eating worse (carbs, pastas, sugars). Anyone else had this happen? I have an appointment with my doctor in a few days so I'll ask him there but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced something similar. Is my body just adjusting to this new diet? Or is something wrong? Thanks!!!!

I can't say how it will affect you, but I'm a type two and Dr. Joel Fuhrman's diet has revitalized me. In fact, I quit the Metformin over two months ago. I also lost 50 pounds in under four months while eating plenty. Maybe it's taking some time for your body to cleanse itself of all the bad stuff you've been putting into yourself.
