I’ve found the iDave diet to work pretty much as advertised, I have to confess I haven’t followed it religiously – both in the sense that I “cheat” to a small extent during the week by still having milk in my tea and eating the odd bit of cheese and fruit, but also in as much as I don’t really go for it on the weekly blow-out day, just take a more relaxed approach to my diet. This is probably because, whilst I’ve been aiming to trim up a bit, I don’t need to loose a huge amount of weight.
The problem I’ve run in to is that I’m now finding that after even modest amounts of exercise, such as my 6/7 mile commute, I’m getting really stiff muscles, not just my legs either, but also hands and jaw. Which is all rather odd. It’s making me wonder whether my carb consumption has just dropped too low as I’ve seen recommendations of 100-150g per day for weight maintenance, which seems quite a lot when they need to come from legumes and veg?
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
