I've had some crazy headaches!

Hey Mr. Fat Loss,

I was wondering if migraine-type headaches are normal. The last 3 days I've had some crazy headaches (I'm thinking from sugar/caffeine with drawl)........and even though I take Advil, nothing happens. My girlfriend said she also gets slight headaches, but not as bad as mine.I looked up other things on line and I've been eating extra bananas, raisins and grapes to get my potassium fill--cause i read somewhere it helps with headaches.Just wanted to know if this was normal, and what I should do.

Thanx, --ollie

Great question Oliver....this is something that happens from time to time when a new client discovers that coffee or particularly the caffeine combined with sugar, sweeteners, flavoring and creamers are removed. The body gets so accustomed to the routine of the stimulants in the body that it gets basically pissed that you took them out and it punishes you with the disabling headaches!

I'm not the biggest advocate of telling all my client's to cut out all types of vices at one time....but the big one at first is the sugars that are added to coffee and caffeinated drinks. There's some extra calories and challenges with insulin levels going crazy that can make it much more difficult to lose body fat.

So the suggested course of action is to first cut back gradually on sugar from drinks and coffee slowly. If you have 3 cups or "Red Bull" type drinks (or soda), cut back to 2 1/2, the 2, 1 1/2 over a period of 2-4 weeks. The body will adjust slower instead of the cold turkey approach and you'll enjoy less intense, mind bending, jump off a bridge and kill yourself headaches.

Big hugs...

Mr.Fat Loss


P.S. A few thoughts from a great book ..............

KEKICH'S CREDO


1. People will do almost anything to stay in their comfort zones. If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone. Strive to increase order and discipline in your life. Discipline usually means doing the opposite of what you feel like doing. The easy roads to discipline are 1) setting deadlines, 2) discovering and doing what you do best and what's important and enjoyable to you and 3) focusing on habits by replacing your bad habits and thought patterns, one-by-one, over time, with good habits and thought patterns.


2. Cherish time, your most valuable resource. You can never make up the time you lose. It's the most important value for any productive happy individual and is the only limitation to all accomplishment. To waste time is to waste your life. The most important choices you'll ever make are how you use your time.


3. Think carefully before making any offers, commitments or promises, no matter how seemingly trivial. These are all contracts and must be honored. These also include self-resolutions.


4. Real regrets only come from not doing your best. All else is out of your control. You're measured by results only. Trade excuses and "trying" for results, and expect half-hearted results from half-hearted efforts. Do more than is expected of you. Life's easy when you live it the hard way... and hard if you try to live it the easy way.


5. Always show gratitude when earned, monetarily when possible.


6. Produce for wealth creation and accumulation. Invest profits for wealth preservation and growth. Produce more than you consume and save a minimum of 20% of all earnings. Pay yourself first.


7. You're successful when you like who and what you are. Success includes achievement… while choosing and directing your own activities. It means enjoying intimate relationships and loving what you do in life.


8. Learn from the giants.


9. A little caution avoids great regrets. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Keep fully insured physically and materially and keep hedged emotionally. Insurance is not for sale when you need it.


10. Learn the other side's needs, offer as little information as possible, never underestimate your opposition, and never show weakness when negotiating.
