savasana normal food
after getting ready for yoga today i practiced Savasana one hour. it's not something i do often, but i felt dizzy when i woke up. in the calorie restriction list there was a question from someone new to CR whether it was normal to experience dizziness after having reached a low BMI. the condition of feeling dizzy when getting up from a chair, a bed, etc, has a name - hypo something; not -condriac. i'll have to look it up and edit this entry later, haha. it's hypotension, "orthostatic hypotension". he was advised to slow down his CR practice (not reduce calories so fast). i don't experience dizzinesss, but yesterday i ate only 1200 calories, compared to my usual 1800 to 1900 and this might have caused the dizziness. the undereating was caused by going to the event last night, where there was no food, and eating little and very late when getting home. i understand why the fellow architect passed out during the event last night.

interesting! how long have you been practicing CR?
Dear Loo
I started shortly after starting a mysore program in earnest, so about 2002. I had lost my adult onset overweight (about 30lbs) three years earlier, but still had 10 lbs nagging me that did not allow me to bind in poses. I figured i needed to restrict calories to lose those last pounds and came across the CR society and started reading their lists. Then I learned that CR was good for health. I also recognized that I had been told about CR by a client two years previous to that, so I was intrigued.
