  • Headache anyone?

    Woke up this morning, had a great morning because I could get into a smaller pair of pants, but woke up with a headache which has not gone away, ive taken two pain killers this morning, but still its here.. have drunk a lot of water, and kept my fluids up, its right at the side of my eyes and the pain is just banging in my head right now... any one have a solution for this or why its happening.

    I never had an Atkins crash or side effects on days 3 - 5 so maybe this is just a delayed reaction.... or?

    A solution would be to take an OTC painkiller.

    Also, your headache is not necessarily related to Atkins.

    How far into Atkins are you?

    Did you eat something today? Some veggies?

      Are you giving up caffeine?

        I used to drink many cups of coffee a day, but now since starting atkins ive cut down to two cups .. one in the morning for breakfast and a second one in the aftnoon some time. I have also taken OTC painkillers, no joy there either. Its not totally decaffienated, I have half/Caf instead.

        I have had many vegetables that im allowed on atkins in inductions, I love veggies so tend to have quite a lot of them, usually tossed in butter now. And im drinking a lot of fluids.

        I am wondering if its maybe an electrolyte problem been as I can say im not exactly constipated quite the opposite. Sorry TMI.

        PS forgot to say.. im on day 8 now of induction.

          You might need some salt. Try some chicken broth. Are you taking any minerals/supplements?

            I think im ok for salt, I love my food quite saltie so have cut down on that as it was rather excessive i dont think there is chance of me not getting enough of that, so I put some pepper in to give more taste now.

            As for Minerals and Supplements, im taking Chromium Picolinate, L Carnatine and CoEnzyme Q10, in the quantities that the book said.

              Your probably right Georgiana, hopefully its not, just not like a headache for me to last so long, its on the wane now though.
