Kay - some people have a harder time going on this WOE than others... Your reaction is definitely a severe one!

I would say that overall what you are eating sounds okay. Look at how much you are drinking, and are you exercising? Are any of these foods totally new to you? Food allergies can cause problems, as can caffeine withdrawal (you didn't exactly say if you drank a lot of coffee before, but I'm getting the feeling that may be the case...)

So, my advice: 1. Make sure you've read the book, and follow it consistently. 2. Did you get a medical check up before starting? Highly advised. 3. Give it at least a week to 10 days before freaking.

I have another concern - your goal weight seems awfully low. You are 5'4", if I'm not mistaken? You are actually probably very close to your ideal weight. If you are not realistic about your body image, this WOE will never solve that for you. I would seriously rethink your goal weight, possibly with the help of a physician.

Good luck!
