Hello,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
It is quite a common set of symptoms in people who are on XXXXXXX specially when in the starting days. One loses weight real briskly and is consistantly low at energy so bones and muscles start paining. Stomach too can get upset as it is not used to the diet regime which it has been started on.
In such situations we do a few simple set of things to relieve the symptoms:
1) You should avoid coffee , caffeine fizzy drinks.
2) You should take a good amount of fiber along with food regime you are taking.
3) You can use simple multivitamins to protect yourself from weakness like Centrum.
4) You can use Tylenol if pain is there.
5) Use Syp Gaviscon when you have stomach upset.
Usually body gets used to low energy levels and starts to behave fine with that diet schedule, and pain lethargy get relieved. I am positive that everything should get fine as time passes. Never forget to replace your salts and hydrate yourself well through the day. Do not panic this is usual as i told. Plus do not try to lose too quick this can weaken your body, try to get healthy weight loss. Keep replacing calcium in different forms to save your bones from weakening.
