I'm looking for advice, hints and tips on how to wean myself off the carbs/sugar without going cold turkey. But also how to cope with sugar withdrawal to avoid headaches/migraines.
On the first point, could you do it meal by meal? So start by making breakfast sugar free/low carb, then move on to the other meals?
I did go cold turkey, and on diagnosis I still had chronic migraines (treating 6 to 8 a month) and going cold turkey did make them worse for a time, but ultimately eating very low carb (less than 20g/day) has cured the migraines as well as putting type 2 into remission.
I’d advise making sure you’re properly hydrated and make sure you get enough salt and other electrolytes, especially magnesium.
Good luck and keep us informed!
Thank you for your advice, it's much appreciated.
I've always struggled with electrolytes when I've done keto. Magnesium supplements have brought headaches on so I tend to avoid them. Any tips on dealing with keto-flu?
I believe this was the magnesium I bought: https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/s...magnesium-tablets-375mg-60005830?skuid=046947
Thank you for the link as well, I do appreciate it.
Do you find magnesium makes a difference? I was wondering about it for migraines and supposedly it also helps carb craving???
Any thoughts??
