I'm shrinking!!
I was just wondering, if any1 has ever heard of someone shrinking because of this diet. I know that's a wierd question, but I used to be about 5'6 1/2 before i started the diet and the other day i measured myself and now i am only 5'5. I know it could be b/c of other reasons too, but i dunno
Did you measure yourself at different times in the day? You're a couple inches taller when you wake up than after you've been up all day - compression of joints and spinal discs, etc

Well, both times thati measured myself it was in the afternoon. Other people have noticed that i'm shorter too. Do u think that there could be something wrong w/ my spinal cord or something? Thanks for you reply!
If you're in any doubt at all, go and get checked out! There's no sense in taking chances, and hopefully your doc would be able to put your mind at rest...

Thanks for the advice. Yea, i'll probably get it checked out so i won't have to worry about it. I think i'm going to measure myself again just to make sure that i'm right about how tall i am Well, best of luck to you on ur diet! Have a good day!
I am a chiropratic assistant if there was something wrong with your spinal cord most likley you would have some kind of pain in the back or neck. besides if you are srinking, short is fun too!
