The Negative Side Effects Of Weight Loss

This is day 7 of The X Diet. I suspected it was working right away because I started experiencing the sensation of cold. Sensitivity to cold is a negative side effect of weight loss. If you lose fat, you will lose insulation. The faster the weight loss, the more sensitive your body becomes to negative thermal alterations.

In addition to the thermal sensitivity--and I should add that I am someone who is usually resistant to cold temperatures. It does not bother me as much as it does most people--I also experience increased urination and muscle cramps. So I have not slept well for about a week, last night being the exception.

So I was warm last night but I don't seem to have lost any weight. I might have even regained a pound. No pain, no loss.

BTW, the muscle cramps were curtailed with Vitamin C, a multi-vite with potassium and a rededication to sodium intake. Got salt?

This missive should remind us that losing weight is discomforting. Your body wants you to gain weight. It really does. You might feel better after you lose weight, but while you are shedding fat? Probably not.
