Protein Bar Withdrawl???
My legs, arms, fingers and toes are all tinglely. This started last night. The only difference I can think of in my life is that I have been eating mostly granola bars instead of protein bars this past week. (They were on sale! And they are low sugar with 5 grams of fiber. But of course, they only have 3 grams of protein)
Is it possible that I am feeling a difference so quickly? Just in case, I bought some SB bars today at Stop & Stop. And I will go back to my protein ritual ASAP. Just wondering what could be causing this???
Christine:
The symptoms you are having may just be a coincidence with the timing of your protein bar "withdrawl". It sounds more like you might want to investigate a deficiency of some sort. When was the last time you had bloodwork done? If I am correct (not a nutritionist) my memory banks tell me that B levels being low can cause tingling. Might be time to check with your nutritionist on this.
And I do agree with Julio, protein (and good sources of it) are primary. The granola bars are simply not enough for us.
Me? I have to stay away from the protein bars all together (for the most part). They simply are too yummy (and call out to me too strongly) and I need real food to feel satisfied.
Good luck. Hope you feel better soon.
