Re: Caffeine Withdrawel & Carb Withdrawel

[Guest guest]

Six months ago I decided to stop drinking any caffeine drinks. I went to

decaffinated coffee and decaf soft drinks. I had a headache for a solid

week. It was so bad and I didn't know it was from caffeine withdrawel. I

thought maybe I had a sinus infection since I get these a couple of times a

year and it felt like one. I went to the doctor and he said nothing was

wrong with my sinuses. I couldn't believe it and he started asking me

questions and when I told him I stopped all caffeine intake, he knew

exactly what was causing my headaches. Well after the week they went away,

and I have stayed off caffeine. Then when I started Phase 1 last week the

first 3 days I had a bad headache. I think this must be caused by carb

withdrawel. It went away after 3 days. Stick with it, the headaches do go

away. I started the diet on 7/10 and have lost 5 1/2 lbs. so far. I start

vacation this Saturday and also Phase 2 and I am looking forward to staying

on plan. I have a bunch more energy (I don't know why) but I feel great!!
