So I'm starting a 21 Day Sugar Detox today. I have to tell you so that I don't quit. I can't quit. I can't quit. It's been 1 meal so far and I'm ready to quit. Ugh.

You can do it!!! Good luck!

So the headache and being miserable isn't supposed to start til day 3 or 4. Welp, I'm on day .5 and this is going to be a LONG 21 days.

Awww, you can do it...good luck.  I'll have to go look it up.  Doesn't sound like a lot of fun though.

When I did the 17 day diet I definitely got the headache on day 1...it goes away I promise.

amccul20

you can totally do this!! are you back at school? being occupied all day would really help

s517

I'm NOT back at school, which is NOT helping! Ugh. I need to fit in my school clothes in order to go back...hence starting now.

Girrrrrrrl, it is not easy!  I don't know much about this plan, though.  What does it involve?

s517

It pretty much cuts out all foods that have any type of sugar. You can eat as much as you want, but it's tough bc most foods have sugar. I can eat a lot of protein, but I'm a carby person. 

janma529

Gotcha.  I hear you about the carbs.  I was doing a modified South Beach a few weeks ago and it was cutting out the carbs that really got to me.  I was having a hard time eating enough each day and I was losing weight waaaaaay too quickly, which wasn't why I was doing it so that was pretty bad.

Do you like black beans?  I was adding them to EVERYthing!  

s517

Oh Janet.....I wish I had that problem, lol. I know it's just as bad as the gaining it too quickly..but it sounds awfully nice.

Black beans are limited, I think.

So I feel drunk and hungover at the same time. I have a a TERRIBLE headache, I'm nauseous,shaky, and miserable. Nolan already told me to quit- not because he's not supportive, but because I'm in such bad shape. I finally just took a migraine pill and that seems to be helping, but I just googled how long sugar detox takes and it said 'give it a few weeks'....I'll die. 

mana8503

Took 2-3 days for me. I was shaking too. But 17 day diet allows 2 fruit and 2 servings of yogurt / day. That definitely helped.

I hope you feel better soon.

s517

The migraine pill has helped a bit with the headache....let's hope I can function bc I have to go to a student orientation at work today.

You can do it Steph!! My old boss did a sugar detox once. I think it took her about 2 weeks to completely get over it but once she did, she was fine.
