My problem has been that if I stand up to quickly, I have a moment of dizziness. There are many variables; blood pressure, blood sugar, nervous system, altitude etc.
The more aware I am of my diet and how nutrition affects my body, I find the more sensitive I become to changes.
I cut coffee, bread, sugar, and beef/pork. I would eat very nutritious meals, and my energy levels and body felt amazing, but the stand up and be dizzy became more common.
Was I going through withdrawal? Is my body to accustomed to eating these foods? Should my theory be, "sugar and bread is ok as long as I eat other nutritious meals?"
I'm not sure, I'm still experimenting, and I'm utilizing the final month of my insurance with my parents to figure this out.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoThe safest technique might be to slowly titrate to lower doses of sugar and caffeine instead of going cold turkey, particularly if you have a long history of sugar and caffeine use. You will probably also need to wait a few weeks from your original baseline before assessing the impact of your new diet. Synapses and more will need to adjust to their new environment.

Though it can be a sign of some medical coditions so getting it checked out is advisable, perhaps get a second opinion? (If your blood pressure is on the low side raising it will likely help, but obviously consult with a doctor)
