Oh Man, I feel so stupid and my head still hurts!!

I just realized that fitday does not take into consideration the fiber content. So, I have been thinking I was eating between 17-19 carbs and really it has been more like 12-14 total for the day!!

Sooo, day 4 and I STILL have a pounding headache ...no wonder!! I bought some vitamins and Excedrin tonight, tomorrow I am upping my carbs and hopefully my head will stop hurting. I also bought some Ketone strips to hopefully keep me motivated. I have a very weird taste in my mouth, I hope this is a good sign (my breath is yucky!!)

I still feel silly about the above, but hopefully this will help even things out.

Sounds like you're in ketosis! And the headache should stop shortly. :)

yup you definately have the ketosis dragon breath...:) good luck and yea you should up your carbos ....

Well, my head isn't hurting as bad this morning (official day 4) -- yeah!! Also, I did a Ketone strip this morning and all looks good, I have "crossed over." So I might just make it!!
