Default 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.

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!!
