Headache

[miabella]

I am on Day 5 of Atkins Induction, the first two days I had a continous headache, probably withdrawal from my beloved Diet Coke! The headaches have ceased during the day, but I still wake up with a tinge of a headache, but it seems to go away when I get some water into me. Anybody know what that's about? I am drinking a minimum of 96oz. of water a day.

Your body is busy cleansing itself of toxins, sugars etc. A headache is a common complaint during the first part of Induction, and it should go away as soon as your body adjusts to your new WOE. Be sure you are getting all of your water and that you are eating enough, including plenty of healthy fats.:)

Definetly withdrawal symptoms. I got them bad from soda and sugar withdrawal. Hang in there. You are gonna do great!

that is amazing....I woke up this morning with a pounding headache myself, I started Atkins diet yesterday...never thought to attribute it to the diet...Feeling much better today after two bayer aspirin though...

Watch the dehydration... that's a frequent cause for early morning headaches. If you wake up in the middle of the night, try to drink a few sips of water; you might find that that makes all the difference.
