Hey all:

I have two complex carb-containing meals a week, at night-time, as part of a suggested Beverly Nutrition diet regimen that seems to be working well. My problem is that the morning after the carb-up meals, I wake up with a pretty intense headache, like the exact kind of headache you have during a hangover, except (usually :tucool: ) I haven't touched a drop the night before. I've tried drinking excess water right before I go to bed, but the headache is still there in the morning. Anybody have any experience with this, or any ideas what I could do?

I've got the headache right now as we speak. Ow!

Hmmm... are you other low/no carbs?

Yeah, they're the only two carb meals I eat (besides tons of veggies).

Where's your fruit? Beverly doesn't cut out all fruits on all of the non-refeed meals.

Refeed meals don't give me headaches, just some bloating and stomach issues the first week or two. After that I feel really good the day after a refeed.

How long have you been on the plan, and can you show more info on the diet?

Whoops, you're right, I totally forgot about the grapefruit. I eat one every day during breakfast.
