Soreness on Cleansing Diet?

[adew]

Hi - we're about 3 weeks into the diet, and it has been pretty good so far. I am amazed that I crave food much less than I did before - and have much fewer highs and lows (in fact I have lost about 7lbs). It has been generally animal-food free, with the exception of a few eggs, and a few servings of fish and meat, as a small percent of the meal.

But I've also felt more muscle soreness lately. Most specifically, after bike rides. I feel like I started the biking season fairly strong but when I went on this diet the bike feels like it gained weight as I was losing it. And after my ride the other day I actually woke up and my legs were sore - which never happens.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Not sure, Adew. It could just be the changes that your body is going through are part of the pain. I always get achy during a cleanse, even weeks into it.

For now, I would let the changes happen over the next few weeks. In the mean time, be sure you're drinking plenty, and using plenty of good salt for recovery.

Thank you Scott. Good to know that it has happened to you as well. I thought my original question hadn't gone through, so ignore the repeat post. Thanks again!
