Headaches can be due to caffiene withdrawl or lack of hydration or insufficient electrolytes like salt or stress or plenty of other causes.

Low carb /low sugar tends to mean body improves its clean n clear system taking salts n water with it. A good thing, but make sure you are hydrated and getting more salt. Many folk on low carb even take salt tablets and get inproved/ reduced blood pressure, so dont be afraid of adding some salt n lots of water.

Hope @shockvalue07 your headaches clear

Thanks for the info. I drink water all day I feel like I'm getting enough water. 90% of my sugar comes from fruit i.e., Apple and this morning I had a banana for Brkfst. No added refined sugar, I think the headaches are just coincidental.

I find staying on track much easier when I log on here everything I plan to eat for the day first thing in the morning. Just maybe a helpful tip to someone who is finding it hard to stay on track. This way I can see in the morning if I need to add more food or take some out.

Good idea! I'm struggling to log all my food for the day.

Not sure about good any good Ab Workouts on YouTube, but I'd be interested in answers to that.

I've done the squats and arms. I'm going to the gym in the morning for Spinning followed by Fight Klub, so I should get a good burn there. If anyone has any good abs ideas I might tag that on once i get home.

Ok so I failed on day 3 of the no sugar challenge. I really thought I could do it for the whole week. I'm a person that went from only drinking regular soda and extra sweet coffee to no soda and half the sugar in my coffee and since this challenge started, no sugar at all. So I guess 2 days of no sugar is a good start. I'm having sugar today but only 3 tsp and I'm going to try the challenge again tomorrow. I had headaches and was very lethargic for the last 2 days. I don't think I was ready for cold turkey, but I'm going to try again tomorrow. At least I fought the urge to have a coke!

@SamandaIndia I wish I could see that! Hahaha

@TangledThread, break the news to me, you're Greek, right?

Today I did my 20 minutes of circuit training (30 day shred), squat + arm challenges. I had yummy lump crab meat crab cakes, and olive oil for my oven baked fries, so hopefully day 3 of checking that Greek ingredients box!

Very happy and excited to be part of this team!

Just walking in the door from work at 9:00pm. Part of the reason I stayed away from med school was the 12 hour shifts but it seems they know where to find me!

Day 2 of packing container. So put in about 12,000 steps of doing just that today plus arm challenge and squat challenge complete for today. Fitbit logs me at 75 active minutes.

Off for a shower and homework now. Hope everyone had a good day!

Sorry all, another zero day for me. Got a steroid shot today at the doc and some antibiotics, so hopefully will turn this around soon, but still feeling like crud. I will get the dance done, just no energy right now.

Spin and Fight Klub completed today. Still have to fit my squats in though. I'm not going to be sticking to the nutritional challenge today as I'm making a lamb curry and I love naan or chapattis with it.

I'm sorry to hear you are unwell @Buzymomof_3. I hope you feel better with the antibiotics.

Today will be day 4 of no white sugar/flour/rice. Yesterday was easier with only a mid afternoon craving where I had an apple with ricotta cheese and cinnamon.

44 minutes for me today, and more seafood in for the Greek eats. I too would love if someone could please add me and my times to the spreadsheet, I looked at it and my head was spinning. I don't know if it's my husband's tablet or what, but it was confusing to me.
