No hangover yet

[Bushwa777]

Hi my wife and I have been faithfully doing the Whole30 and this is our third day.  I have read the book and the rules and the book states that by day 2 or 3 you should have a sugar hangover but neither of us have one or if we do it is so mild not to annoy us.  Is this normal or will the hangover hit us later or what?

It may hit you later; it may not really hit you at all depending on what your diet was like pre-Whole30. No one really follows the timeline precisely to the day. It's more of a "lots of people have said they have sugar hangovers days 2-3. A few say 3-4 and that one guy had a sugar hangover on day 12, so we're going to put days 2-3 in the timeline."

I never had one.  It might depend on how much sugar you ate before you started?

Thanks all.  I know we ate a lot of sugar before so it most likely will hit soon but I was just wondering.

I didn't have most of the side-effects the book mentions when I did my first Whole30 last year. Now I'm on day 4 of my second round and holy crap- I'm feeling headaches and tiredness unlike anything I felt the first time. Like laura_juggles said, it just really affects people differently depending on their lifestyle prior to whole30. Good luck with the rest!!
