new starter

[msfran]

hey i started atkins monday and im having a slight headach is it because my carb intake is low i exercise 4 times a day for at least an hour ,but since i started the diet i've been really tired

[msfran]

any ideas on how to stop the headachs

You are suffering what alot of us went through. It is called "Induction Flu". Your body is fighting you! The tiredness and headaches disappear in a few days and then you feel like DYNO- MITE!

oh! Sorry, forgot to say.......aspirin helped me alot. But, then again it only lasts a few days and it is SSOOO worth it!
Make sure you are spreading your carbs out throughout the day and eating enough too!

I found drinking water helped me with my headaches when I started. I took an aspirin and drank lots of water. It is part of induction flu and only lasts from 3-5 days. Then you'll most likely get a burst of energy and feel terrific.

Hi msfran! Welcome to the board! Your headache will go away, perhaps it has already? Hang in there, it will get better!

hey i lost 5lbs so far started atkins on monday ,but today i slipped i had one pint of butter peacan ice cream will i have to start induction over

[sillygirl]

Oh noooo msfran! Can you pinpoint why you slipped? Emotional eating, or not even thinking about it eating? You can do this. Hope right back on and continue, don't let this get you down. And 5 pounds since Monday ain't too shabby either!
