Whats with the sudden Joint pain, after starting a diet?

Question

I have started a healthier eating routing, Vegetables, Fish, Chicken Fruits and grains. Now all my joints began hurting recently, I've started the diet 2 months ago. Could it be that I am missing something in my diet? I am anemic too. I allways crave med rare steak

Answer 1

It could be you are not getting enough fluids or something is going on with your blood sugar levels to create that kind if ache and pain. Chart your water intake for a couple days. Consider going into a doctor to get some blood work done & have them check that the supplement you are taking is appropriate.
Eating smaller meals and snacking throughout the day on those healthy foods is better then the three big meals for your anemia. Meanwhile you can get some OTC glucosamine for quick relief from symptoms.

Answer 2

Yes! you are not getting the right amount of nutrients resulting in anemia and possibly a low b12 you need to take a suppliment such as centrium inorder to get the missing vitamins and minerals your body requires inorder to keep your body actually healthy. You should also make sure that you are getting your daily dose of calcium. Your joints and muscles are using up the nutrients your ody lready has resulting in joint and muscular pain. Please look into vitamin suppliments and by the way if you are craving red meat then you are missing iron, protein, b12, viatmin d and more minerals and that is your body telling you to get the nutrients into you.

Answer 3

You need oil for one. Your supposed to have about 2 Tblsp of olive oil a day somehow. Sounds like your on a great diet. Dont mix fats with sugars. Drink alot of water. ALOT, you have to drink tons of water more than you did, when you change to a different diet and stick to it. Red meat doesnt hurt ya. Cant think why it would cause joints to hurt. Do they throb or are they just sore? I would take a small pain reliever and see if that helps.

Answer 4

Not so much sugar withdrawal as your body is detoxing. As your body voids of toxins it can actually give your flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, headache, fatigue, and yes, joint pain. Hang in there, once all the bad stuff is out of your system you will feel like a million bucks!

Answer 5

it could be just a coincidence that joint pain and dieting started together. please do not take it lightly. firstly how old are you? secondly you could be calcium deficient or sometime due to severe or crash dieting our harmones go out on a spin. make sure you don't starve yourself and excercise
I also have joint pain in my knees. since each case is different what works or is diagnosed with me may not be the case with you. but do try to see your physician for joint pain.

Answer 6

Inflamation.
You could be going through detox. A healthier diet may releasing stored toxins that are causing inflamation.

You should eat more and take iron for your anemia.

Answer 7

Are you getting plenty of Calcium? Vegetables are not enough for calcium.

Are you taking any medication for lowering Cholesteral as well? Some of these medications can give you joint pain as well.

You should really see your doctor.

Answer 8

Maybe you lack Potassium in the Diet and Protein. Protein is not the thing to cut in yur diet but sugar and starches are.

Answer 9

Hi, I had a similar problem when i changed my eating habits,
well, i was told that it was your body getting use to the change of food, Usually your body know what is your regular foods, and once that is changed your body also reacts to it, but if this continues, please see a doctor, you might be allergic to something you are eating, sometime it can be fish also...
Peace be with you
