HI! Today is my 6th day of induction. I have been fine all week until yesterday and I developed the WORST headache and still had it this morning....it is finally starting to go away...is this typical to happen halfway thru induction? I expected it at the start. Any ideas/suggestions?

Hi Jules,

Yes, what you're experiencing is pretty typical. It doesn't usually start immediately as it takes a few days for the carbs to leave the system.

Sometimes the headache can also be from caffeine withdrawal too.

The only suggestion I can give you is to drink LOTS of water (to help flush things out) and just ride it out. You'll feel better soon.

All the best to you.

Ouch I feel for you. I had plently of headaches the first 2 weeks of Akins induction levels. I found that I needed to change a few things. 1, I added more carbs in the form of vegees and fruit. 2, I took advil for a day or 2. I also wasn't taking in enough calories as protien. Hope you get through this soon.
