I am reading Cordain's book and trying to change to Paleo from a low-fat,
mod carb diet. I am on day four and have been experiencing dull headaches
from the start, even though I did not cut out caffeine. What I have totally
cut out are grains, dairy, potatoes, and sugar, although I am putting a
half-tsp of honey in my tea first thing in am. I definitely feel that I am
in some type of withdrawal.
I have had chronic problems with IR - sugar highs and lows, waves of
fatigue, sugar cravings for years. I am about 10 lbs. overweight and have
exercised regularly. I am having trouble getting the paleo breakfast
together and today I definitely hit bottom between breakfast (fruit and
walnuts) and lunch (fish, butternut squash and salad).
I do have a latex allergy - having worked for years in hospitals - I
develop sneezing and swollen eyes if I get latex fibers around my face.
Then, I read on this listserve that people with latex allergies can have
reactions to certain fruits. I have definitely increased my fruit from 2
pieces to about 4-5 now.
So, any advice about the headaches, general malaise on the first few days of
the diet, latex, and breakfast, would be appreciated.
