I've restarted Atkins yesterday. I wanted to slowly veer off from the caffeine because I couldn't think of possibly going through the withdrawal headache so each morning i'll have 1/2 a can of diet pepsi and slowly taper it down each day. BUT i'm started to get that terrible headache anyways. Is it from a sugar withdrawal. I also started exercising 30 minutes each day as well.

Re: Headache
Sugar, caffiene, carbs...yes...just power through it and it'll be over in a few days. The way I figure, you can feel crappy for 3 or 4 days, or you can drag it out for a few weeks....so why not just bite the bullet and get it over and done with.
Drink plenty of water, take tylenol or ibuprofen and hang in there...it'll pass. -
Re: Headache
Its normal and it will go away. Its a good sign that your body is detoxing itself of some terrible junk. Sounds like you are doing great - proud of you for exercising. You are on your way!

Re: Headache
I had a headache for over a day straight. (I started Monday). Just take it as a sign that your body is getting used to this new lifestyle.

Re: Headache
I agree with the girls, you're detoxing. It's not fun, you might start feeling achy and flu'ish too for a few days. It's normal to not feel so good for a few days when you start. Induction flu, withdrawals from the caffeine, as long as it doensn't last more than a few days, I wouldn't worry about it, your body is totally switching the way it burns fat! Keep it up, you're doing good, especially if you're exercising from the start!

Re: Headache
I cut out the caffeine. Drinking lots of water. This morning I did break down and went to Starbucks and bought a grande decaf cafe americano topped lightly with steamed heavy whipping cream. Delish!Restarted Atkins 5/1/06
