Mariann, the headaches are normal the first few days - it's part of detoxing. It shouldn't last much longer.

Make sure you're taking your supplements (multi vitamin, cal / mag, potassium) and drinking your water (8 glasses a day minimum). Try to eat small meals throughout the day, ensuring you have some protein in all of them and it should help alleviate some of the symptoms.

I got headaches from not having any carbs. I would take 2 extra strength Tylenol and that worked well. It didn't last past the 1st week and now I only get the headaches if I haven't had any carbs at all. So then I normally eat a piece of cheese or pepperoni and that cures the headache.

Good luck!!
