The first 2 or 3 days are the worst, hang in there. The caffeine withdrawal is likely making it worse too.

My day 1 and 2 were bad with headaches, lightheadedness. I drank as much as I could, had a quick cleaning shower, then took an Epsom Salt bath (as hot as I could take it, scrubbed every 5 minutes, the water turned gray, even though I went in squeaky clean from my shower), then went to bed early. Felt amazing the next morning.

Your body is likely still adjusting the fast, cayenne pepper, toxins being stirred up, etc and it's likely also learning how to adjust until your next BM.

Hang in there but also listen to your body too.

Hope this helps.

Hello!

I am on day 4, and I was really nauseous the first day and have been on and off since. Drinking peppermint tea has helped. (I used plain dried peppermint leaves.) I have been having it whenever I feel inclined. I think this is ok to do on the MC, but is definitely warranted if you are really sick.

Does anyone else out there know anything about drinking peppermint tea while fasting? Is there a limit?

I am on day 2 also, however the only thing I feel is a little dizzy at times. The thing you should have done before you started is go off the caffeine. I did this, slowly cutting down on the pop, sugar, etc.
