Day 3 and super inflammed


Recommended Posts

Day 3 here, and I'm got lots of inflammation.  Also feel like I'm coming down with a cold....so could be that as well.  Basically achy neck, swollen fingers, which are the symptoms I get from eating lots of flour, except I'm on Day 3 of not eating any flour!? 

Could it be detoxing?  Any one experienced something similar?  Thanks!

It's possible that you are coming down with a cold. It's not uncommon for people to get an illness in the first part of their first Whole30, especially if the Whole30 is a huge departure from what they were doing before. Basically your body is wondering what the heck is going on and is assigning resources to the effort of rebalancing as a result of your change in diet..........and the little bugs sneak in....especially in the height of cold and flu season. 

Even if that's not it, I would still recommend that you drink lots of water (half ounce per pound of your bodyweight) and take it easy. If it is just "detox" or an adjustment, the water and rest will help. If it's a cold......well, the water and rest will help. ;)
