lhenkin Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 HI all! One of the surprise benefits of my Whole30 was the disappearance of hot flashes. At first, I didn't even notice. Then somewhere near the end I thought about it and couldn't remember my last hot flash (which had previously come several times a day). Now, for Thanksgiving, I have been off-roading a bit....and what do you know...hot flashes. I am wondering if anyone knows which foods are the culprit. My intuition is that it is the sugar...since I have been mainly compliant otherwise...but who knows. Any thoughts? Link to comment
kb0426 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Did you have any alcohol? I also found my hot flashes went away. When I did a wine reintro - BAM - they were back. If I want a good night of sleep, I know I need to avoid wine or experience the misery of waking up with a hot flash. I was lucky last night that I was not affected by holiday off-roading!

lhenkin Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Really only a few sips of wine, so I doubt that is it, but... I will probably be somewhat non-compliant the rest of the weekend, while my son is home from college...but I am looking forward to getting back on the plan on Monday! Link to comment
Wendyland Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have the opposite issue. I get hot flashes on whole 30 . Especially when I sleep. I thought it was a symptom of ketosis. Wine does give me a flush, but usually right away. Link to comment
heathera Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've been having them too...and I am a bit young for hot-flashes. Are they caused by ketosis as well? Would the Whole 30 trigger a hot flash? Link to comment
DavisFamAK Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 What is ketosis? I had a hot flash today too...among other symptoms... Link to comment
