I'm on the third day of induction and I have a headache that just won't quit. I've taken Advil, I've consumed tons of water, etc. Is this a symptom of sugar detox? Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

When I began this journey, I too had these terrible headaches. I had some stuff left over from having my baby. It was for pain and after four days of a continous headache i took it and was fine after. They since have been farther apart but periodically have them, but yes I believe they are do to my body purging all the toxins stored in the fat that now is being burned. For me i feel when Im getting one it is because my body is releasing a lot of toxins at once. I also believe the better I become at eating all the right food all the time the better i will feel all the time. My blood pressure was a big issue for me. I didnt want to end up on medication and that was where i was headed if I didnt do something. Even as active as I am, I was still suseptable to it because my mom has it and she is thin now but wasnt when she got it. But thinning down wasnt enough. You need to get rid of the junk food too. As soon as I gave it up I could see over time it has come down on a regular basis.

I think it is because your brain is craving carbs. It takes a while but your brain will convert to fat fuel. Hang in there.

Sugar, carbs and possibly caffeine withdrawal. Try Tylenol for the headache & keep drinking water. That will help flush things out.

Be sure to eat lots of protein and fat and don't go hungry.

Hang in there it will pass

My headache was terrible too, it went away about day 4. I feel so much better, just starting my second week of induction and I am 8.5 lbs down. Stick with it, it is so worth it!!

I remember that headache! When I first did Atkins, bout 8 years ago. Horrible! But it did go away by the end of the first week. Drink TONS of water.

Thank everyone for the encouragement! Today my headache was better.

I think it moved on to me I've had a headache for a few days now. I figure that after day 9 or so it'll go away, so two more days of headaches :/

Glad to hear that you feel much better today...Continued success to you and your low carb journey!!
