Re: I did it again......
Were you also trying to give up caffeine?
Were you eating close to 20 net carbs, with over half of them coming from vegetables?
Were approximately 65% of your calories coming from fat?
Were you eating enough calories?
Were you drinking enough water?
If you post a menu here, we could help.
For headaches, you can use an OTC painkiller."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

That's why you shouldn't go off... so that you don't have to go through it again. Start now and stick to it. The headaches only last a few days, if that, and after that you'll feel MUCH better!I dont know how i can make myself get through it anymore. Ive been on and off so many times."Get action.

Hi Courtney,
I had headackes at the beginning of induction too. I think everybody does. I realized I was not eating enough and kicked up the carbs and actually met the 3 cup veggie requirement, and a little meat too. I feel a lot better.Start Date 2/21/2010

Re: I did it again......
I get migraines so there is no way I'd just suffer through induction, no reason anyone should. Take some OTC meds and go on with your day. Why would you try to tough it out in pain when it's not helping you at all? Excederin is the only thing that works for my migraines (if I take it early enough) so that is what I used. It has caffiene so a "cleaner" choice would be better if it works for you.
You have to sit down and decide if you really want to do this WOE or not. It has to be your choice and it takes a lot of commitment. If you aren't ready then maybe WW or another diet would suit your needs better.
Whatever you decide don't just quit trying to get healthy and give up. You deserve better than that.Atkins Start date: 01/18/2010--Now off plan for med reasons, still an Atkins lover!

I'd prefer not to take caffeine but I'm not good to anyone if I'm down for the count with a horrible migraine. I wasn't sure if OP was having just regular headaches or migraines. I know most people can just use tylenol or something, which I think would be a better atkins choice?Atkins Start date: 01/18/2010--Now off plan for med reasons, still an Atkins lover!
