Physibeth Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 You're right on schedule. Stay the course. It gets better: Days 2-3: The HangoverThe alarm rings on day 2 and you pop out of bed expecting the same kind of Charlie Sheen winning feeling you had yesterday.

Remember the pre Whole30 bender you went on? Pizza, cookies, Jim Beam, jelly beans (oh, the jelly beans)? Yeah. This is when it comes back to bite you in the butt. (And the head.)

padrye Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 MsShopping, I hope you are feeling better by today, day 5! I am on the same day as you. I think staying hydrated would help with the headaches. I am liking fizzy water, La Croix with an extra squeeze of lemon juice in it!! Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsShopping Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 padrye, Yes, I do feel better. Had a headache for both Day 3 and 4. All gone now. It's crazy how changing your diet affects you. I will try to drink a lot of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
