Headaches in P1?

Hi everyone :)

I started SBD on Saturday, so this is day 3 for me. :)

I had a pretty persistent headache the latter part of Saturday and most of yesterday. Did anyone else experience headaches when starting out?

I was wondering the same thing. Today, Feb 9 is day 3 for me and I started having a weird headache yesterday morning. My muschles actually feel achy too. I figured it was just a coincidence and still could be. How are you feeling now?

I had a mild headache before I went to bed last night, but other than that, they seem to have subsided. I've kept a bottle of Aleve handy just in case.

The more I talk to people, I'm finding that these initial headaches are just a normal reaction to your blood detoxing from all of the sugar. I was concerned at first because I don't recall reading anything in the book about headaches.

Hope yours let up soon!

...Good to hear! I am actually feeling so much better today, as well. And for the first time last night a very small dinner completely filled me up. I think my body is starting to get used to the diet. YIPPEE!

I am on my 7th day. Yesterday I almost quit this diet because I felt as though I would throw up and had a horrible headache. The thought of eating ANYTHING protein made me feel ill. I was two seconds from grabbing a piece of bread. But I got a glass of 1% milk instead, and found out from another message board that it was normal. Today I feel great! Also, I'm so motivated because I've lost 6 pounds in 6 days! Too bad I have about 40 more to go...
