[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2166259, member: 401801"] You [I]are[/I] dehydrated, though, [I]probably[/I]. You're pouring a lot in, but it's also coming back out... So there's a touch of that there, if you're still headachey/foggy. If it's been two weeks, it shouldn't last much longer though. I'd toss in some coconut water/milk for good electrolyte measure, but... I do think you're almost done. (For me it was 2 weeks, usually, of carb flu.) I don't know for sure what your heart is up to, though... Odds are you're having a bit of low bloodpressure. When you change your diet, you cut out a lot of pre-processed foods,and those usually contain a lot of salt. (Bread etc, salt is used as a preservative and flavour enhancer, besides being a way to make sure the general population gets enough iodine). If you cut all that out, you also cut out the salt... And then your bloodpressure gets low, your heart can get fluttery. Do you see stars or do things go dark when you stand up fast? I'm no doc, and I can't diagnose, but you might want to up the salts a bit, even if you don't feel quite fond of those. Sorry. :( [/QUOTE]
