tmorris Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have only had breakfast and lunch so far. Here is what I have eaten: Breakfast: 3 eggs, and a handful of baby carrots banana for snack (I know not great but I was hungry and walking out the door) Lunch: grilled chicken sliced in romaine lettuce leafs with guacamole on top with tomatoes. I am a coffee drinker but not huge, usually just one cup a day. I have had a caffeine headache since this morning. And after lunch I have been clammy, hot, and slightly nauseous. I have also been in a fog all day. Is all of this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllieBellie Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yup, totally normal, folks refer to it as the 'carb flu'. It's fairly common across lowish-carb diets - my friends who are keto or on Atkins had it too. They even refer to it in the Whole30 timeline as 'the hangover' - http://whole9life.com/2012/06/the-whole30-timeline. The mods/smarter people will explain it for you I'm sure.

tmorris Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Wow, thanks for the link. Every time I think I read most things on here, someone posts a link to more things I didn't read yet lol. I have been eating like crap for months, especially bad these summer months. I guess this is what I get. To be feeling like crap half way through the first day makes me nervous this will take me a while to get through. I am not sure I will be able to eat dinner, the thought of food is making me sick. Hopefully my kids don't need help with their homework haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
