Juicing and feel like my head is clamped in a spirooli!

[Justina]

I am on day 2 of my juice feast and I have had a constand headache since yesterday evening around 8pm (shortly after my last juice of the day). I am drinking water between juices and am using juices form Penni's Raw Food Cleanse. What are some things I can look at that I need to adjust, add, take out? I could assume it is detox symptoms but I wouldn't expect them after just a day.

I actually have quite a bit of energy- just a dull, contant headache...

Thanks!!

Hi Justina,

I did a 12 day feast not long ago and I also had a nasty headache early on. If you like what you are drinking and are getting plenty of fluid in- at least 1 gallon a day- bear up- it will pass. Mine was like someone just ran up and jabbed me with a sharp stick then ran away- over and over. After a few days, it went away.

HUGS! grats on taking the powerful step of juicing!

What juices are you consuming?

I've done a few juice feasts, and never had a headache, however I know others who have. Make sure you are drinking LOTS of juice, and you should never be hungry. (ie: 4-6 quarts/day) or more. Remember, this is a feast not a fast, and although headaches can be a detox symptom, it can also be from hunger or thirst. 2-3 quarts should be green with a head of greens (lettuce or mix), and head of celery in each quart. The rest of the volume can be made up with what you like. My favorite is: one head romaine, one head celery, knob of ginger, a whole cucumber (very hydrating), and a couple of apples. This will make one quart. Hope this helps, keep your spirits up, they should subside. And if it is a detox symptom, think of what good your are doing for your body!! Congratulations!

Thank you, thank you!! My spirits are definitely up and I love how much energy I have (was a little moody today but I think that was mostly due to the people I was dealing with). I am getting a lot of negative comments from people about how they could never do a juice feast and it wears on me a little but once I get through the 4th day, usually my resolve goes up and I am just comfortable with it. The tiny noticeable changes in my body are great motivators too! That juice recipe sounds delish so I am going to sub one of my juices tomorrow for it (less the ginger cuz it really tend to upset my tummy).
I dont know the exact recipes for the juices I am doing- I keep the recipes by the juicer- but if you have read the book, i made:
Green Drink
Green Beauty
Purple Passion
Island Flush
cant remember the last one- its a few diff greens with lemon

Ready for juice day #3!

Glad you're doing better!
