    Hi Just Starting

    HI , I have just started on the Atkins diet, I have a friend who has lost 60 lbs so far in about 6 months. I have benn on it for 4 day now and have had an increase in migraines, which I suffer from a lot.I sure it is my body wanting carbs. I hope to be to lose about 70 lbs.

      Hi dmkcap and welcome to ADBB and Atkins!

      Congrats on a great Induction start! Sorry to hear about the migraines though. But, like DragonflyMoon said, once you get through the week of clean Induction, you'll be feeling much better! Stay strong, you can do this...and look to your friend for support and ADBB too! We're here for you!

        The headaches are probably withdrawl symptoms to the high-carb and sugar that your body is used to consuming. It gets better after a few days and your energy will increase and you'll feel much better. Congratulations on making the decision to change your way of life with healthier choices. Soon, your body will adjust & the headaches will go away.

          Hang in there. I've been going through some similar stuff - but I'm sure that things will get better.

              Welcome aboard, dmkcap! Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat all your allowed veggies - the transition to ketosis is rough sometimes, as stored toxins are purged rapidly, along with water and electrolytes, but in a few days your body should adjust to the new status of burning fat instead of carbs as its primary fuel.
