Newbie, When does carb withdrawal end?

I am just starting SBD and am wondering how long it takes for the
headaches to leave and to feel energetic and not crave the carbs? I’m
in the 2 week initial jump start phase and would like to see light at
the end of the tunnel as far as the withdrawal. Can anyone tell me
how long is average?

    HI Elise,

    I had an awful, awful time too………….and I’m getting ready to start all over with SBD. Once I got through Phase I, the rest was easy. I just fell off the SBD wagon completely at Christmas, and never got back on.

    The thing that helped me with the cravings was sugar-free gum. The only problem with that is that for ME, aspartame is dreadful, even in just gum. I ended up with eustachian tube dysfunction from chewing it. BUT, if you don’t have problems with Nutrasweet in gum, then that will help a great deal! I don’t know WHAT I’ll do THIS time around.

    Good luck!
