Mandy in TN Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 How long does this last? I quit sugar on Thurs. Yesterday I felt like someone had run me over with spikes! Today is not any better. So, how much longer?? I have been off sugar, salt, wheat, and dairy for 11 days. :001_smile: Unfortunately, for me this also eliminates caffeine. I can't drink coffee without creamer or tea without sugar. Diet colas are out due to salt content. The first two days I tried to drink coffee with a pack of Splenda. blech. The third day I had a massive headache, but after an Excedrin migraine allowed me to intake some caffeine I felt much better. Since then, I have been fine. I have had a couple of slips. One night I had a little salad dressing at a restaurant that probably contained all 4. oops, I just wasn't thinking. :o On Saturday night I had Mexican food that definitely contained salt. It just can't be avoided at a Mexican restaurant, but I also had 3 glasses of water so I rationalized that it was alright. Anyway, I would say that the first three days were the hardest.

Miss Peregrine Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Took me about a week. By 2 weeks I was feeling awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouseacademy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hang in there- it depends on how addicted you were before. It will end and you will feel really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 the cravings are gone - really glad about that. But, I feel awful!!! At this point, I would be tempted to eat candy, not because I want it, but because I do not like how I feel. Thanks for keeping me going!!

Rosie_0801 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 When I was gestational diabetic I found each dietary restriction took a week and a half to get used to. Be tough! :grouphug: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
