I begin my
Water Fast a week from Sunday. What really scares me to no end is the headaches I read about. I've been doing everything possible to try to prevent them during the fast....for example,
Beginning 1/1 no caffeine and very minimal sugar
Since Monday 1/21 I've only been eating two hb eggs for breakfast, steamed veggies, and nuts. Beverages have been vegetable juices (from the juicer) and water.
On Monday and up until the fast I will cut out the eggs and only eat raw veggies/nuts and drink veggie juices/water.
I am continuing to have daily headaches. If I don't take Advil they become unbearable (can't lay down, be around lights, feel nauseous, etc).
I recognize that the headaches are typically withdrawals from all the bad food, but it just seems like they should be going away by now.
Is there any advice anyone can give me to help deal with them during the first few days of the fast? I'm really scared and there is no way to change the fast because I'm going to a center and have already bought the airline tickets and put down a deposit.
You are all so knowledgeable on this board, so thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
