Hey ladies. Have a question.
I see lots of people here talking about when they cheat, they get a bad headache, and don't feel well afterwards. Here's my story. I've been on SB since Feb. 7th.

My girlfriends took me out last weekend on Saturday for a belated birthday bash. We went to Red Lobster, which is our tradition. I had a legal lunch, except for a few pieces of fried calamari and fried broccoli.
Afterwards, however, we stuck with another tradition, and went to Friendly's for dessert, where I had a Reese's Sundae. Afterwards, I was a little bloated, but fine. Didn't even get any cravings.

HOWEVER, on Tuesday, I got a head-splitting migraine, which lasted almost 48 hours, and just a miserable, crappy feeling for two days. Could it have been a detox from the ice cream? My body just getting rid of the sugar? The reason I suspect detox is because it happened two days AFTER cheating, not on the day of the cheat. Does that make sense, or is it just all a coincidence?

Thanks!
Michele

I'm not a doctor but I have a history of migraines and i would suspect it is just a coincidence.

That's exactly why I thought detox. Sort of like when we all have a detox 2-3 days into Phase 1 on this diet.....it's a withdrawal.
