Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Headaches
I have gone 2 days now without caffeine and sugar. The headaches are getting to me big time, but sticking in there. Being hard on myself too, for not listening to others on eliminateing these things from my diet that are very addicting. Been haveing alot of hunger today too. Nausea along with it. I am really determined though, to stick it out. I guess I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had the headaches for 3 days. I hope your headaches will stop soon. > I have gone 2 days now without caffeine and sugar. The headaches are > getting to me big time, but sticking in there.

If you want to give it up, try weaning yourself gradually instead of going cold turkey. Don't torture yourself.  SignatureJean B. > > I have gone 2 days now without caffeine and sugar.

Don't torture yourself. truly. i used to over-consume caffeine in a big way, but i have switched to half-caf/half-decaf and it does me just fine. Jean is right: if you really want to quit for good, it's better for most people to taper off gradually than it is to go cold turkey. the caffeine withdrawal headache is a painful one that i don't ever want to get again, and wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. hang in there, Sunshyne. if you are hungry, you could try some plainly cooked chicken and green salad. eat as much as you need to get rid of the hunger. I have been LCing for 2 months. My headaches didn't start until about 2 weeks ago and they have been raging. Still drinking at least one diet coke a day. And so much further into this, not during induction. I drink tons of water, eat plenty, including snacks if I want them. Any ideas?

Sounds like it may not be related to LCing. I wonder whether you started eating anything new at about that time--something that you eat every day? I ask because I get headaches if I eat chocolate or cinnamon every day.

Good point....every time I get a terrible headache I can trace it back to some nitrite laced food (usually from processed meat). The problem is, I don't get the headache *every* time, so I continue to play russian roulette ??? > I have been LCing for 2 months.

You also may have a food allergy or sensitivity. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. The headaches have eased today some. Its not as intense. When dropping the caffeine sugar loaded soft drinks, I also started sleeping better. Slept alot yesterday, last night, today. Got a little more energy today too. I did try lower caffeine coffe, with Splenda. It helped too. I havn't really started the induction, but been eating healthier. More salads, no junk food, eating meat and eggs, some cheese, etc. Going shopping tomorrow, cleaning out the fridge tonight too. Made a grocery list. Picking up vitamins like suggested in the book. I weighed myself last week, I was around 264. I weighed myself this morning. 252. I havn't been below 250 in 3 years. I havn't been below 200 in 10 years. I am getting excited! But that much weight lost in less than a week? Been rereading the book again too. So to make sure to understand it well. I drink coffee like there was an iv attached to my arm. actually, the caffeine removes free radicals from your system. I've found if my last cup is around 4:30-5:00, I'm fine at night. > The headaches have eased today some. Its not as intense.

Thanks for the info on caffeine, the wonderful support received! Thanks for the ideas. I will start tracking what I eat for the day when the headaches arrive. I would love to track down the source.

I've cut nutrasweet from my diet, and have not had a migraine since 30 days after stopping. It was the only change I made at that time.
