Day #2 HEADACHE!!!

[Jackiejo1979]

I just completed Day #2.  Have had the worst headache ALL day (and I rarely get headaches!).  I'm a huge sugar addict and Diet Coke drinker.  My usual is 4 sugars in coffee, sugar on fruit, chocolate every day, candy, ice cream....you get the picture.  I'm a distance runner so that has helped burn "most" of the sugar over the years.  I'm glad this day is over.

Hey there

Are you drinking the recommended 1/2 ounce of water per pound of body weight? This will help flush out the toxins.... Also you may want to ensure you are including starchy veg in at least one of your meals (the recommendation is for a fist sized serving per day anyways) as this will help with the transition from the old diet to the new.

Hopefully tomorrow you'll wake up headache free, but if not it's perfectly okay to take something for it. Don't suffer needlessly.

Upped my water intake.  Headache is gone.  Feeling better.  Little bit grouchy but working hard at not letting myself get hungry.  One more day in the books

Hang in there - I'm on day 18 and feeling fantastic. It is worth it to work through the next week or so. I really was not good in the second week... But so thankful to have come out the other side with loads of energy.

You got this!

Thank you for the encouragement.  I've upped my water intake and the headache is gone. Can't say that I feel all that great but I'm managing to stick to the plan.
