ksujen Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I started Whole30 yesterday and this morning woke up with a raging headache. I'm guessing it's from a lack of caffiene yesterday. Did you experience this? How did you deal with it? I keep thinking if I just drank 1/2 a cup of Coke I'd feel much better, but I don't want to cheat like that. I can't stand black coffee so that option is out. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Caffeine and/or refined carb withdrawal is likely the culprit. Stay well hydrated: drink at least 1/2 an ounce of water per pound of body weight daily, and this too shall pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaMarieChoppinBroccoli Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I went (am going) through carb withdrawal. No headache but light headed and no energy. I do coffee but may have to part company with that. I am looking into black teas and green teas especially with mint - maybe that will work?

heatherhactenus Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hey! We have the same start date. How are you feeling now that you're in Day 5? I remember getting a bit of a headache and needing a super long nap on Day 2 (and I'm not a "headache person," so it was really odd for me, but I tried to just listen to my body by getting some mid-day sleep). Now in Day 5, I actually have a weird head-y sensation that I can't quite equate to light-headedness, but maybe it's just my brain being more alert/nourished because the inside of my skull feels way brighter/lighter and less foggy/dense than usual...? (And on Days 3-4 I felt "hyper-aware" which was a little scary during some stressful office moments!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
