Hey all.... just a question that perhaps some of you have been through.

Im really jittery and shakey, on the inside...

I got home from work and was fine... had a fish filet (standard portion) for dinner with a tiny bit of tartare sauce (teaspoon) and around 30 min later i am jittery and shakey... it doesn't feel like dumping, i am very hydrated. .. so I'm not sure what this could be... it has me concerned as i feel odd...

Obviously if this continues i will go to the doctor... but I'm curious to see if anyone else has had this..

I was having a similar issue and my doctor told me I had depleted my glucose stores because I had kept my carbs too low for many months. He told me we NEED carbs, just not in the form of French fries or cake. So I started eating good carbs and it helped a lot! Glad you figured it out.

If youre very dehydrated like you mentioned, that could definitely be the cause.

Thank you for replying... this was the first thing i checked.. i had gone above my daily Water requirement.. and my Protein was also good.

My body must have needed some carbs/sugars... cause ive had barely any since surgery 5 weeks ago... i had some today and it got rid of it... i guess i need to be little less strict with the carbs.. my body must need some

Stick with complex carbs, not simple carbs!

Yes... i have been having good carbs.... i was not getting enough i think.... lesson learned for me... complex carbs for me

I only buy fresh fish... I'm not a fan of frozen... i didn't put anything on it other than salt n pepper... i did have a teaspoon of tartare sauce... but it has 0.7g of carbs per tablespoon. . So i doubt that was the issue.

My plan allows good carbs... but because i am still early out.. I'm trying to get my Protein and nutrients first.. i gotta little tummy now... so i gotta prioritize.. carbs or protein... but since it happened i have allowed myself a small amount of carbs per day... feeling back to normal now...

Funny though i am craving chocolate today grrr bloody hormones!! I think TOTM is going to be my difficult time ... but im not going fail.. the chocolate is not entering my shopping cart!!

What do you guys do for TOTM chocolate cravings?

Chocolate Protein shakes, chocolate Protein Bars (Quest double chocolate), chocolate protein pudding, adding cocoa powder to my oatmeal, and chocolate Calcium chews. If all else fails, a small piece of dark chocolate.

I was thinking sugar free dark chocolate might do thr trick

I'm no doctor, but in such a situation, I'd not worry about the 'sugar-free' option.

The small amount of sugar that would be in a piece (not a block) or two of a good, dark chocolate will not likely cause you any bodily angst and will, at the same time, allow you to feel like you've had EXACTLY what you felt like without breaking the caloric/carbic* bank..

Of course, my experience with TOTM is limited to staying the f*ck outta the way!!!

* ^{_{I know 'carbic' is not a word... But admit it - you knew EXACTLY what I meant when I said it.. Yeah, I know.. Genius!!}}

Damn it... so a whole block is out... you are no fun!!! I could easily devour a whole block of chocolate... im like a feral animal when its that TOTM... anyone that touches my chocolate might lose a limb or two lol

And you have been trained well to stay away from the crazy hormonal psycho lady hahha
