Just starting

First day with this diet and feel like a fish out of water. Basically cut down carbs and eaten more fatty stuff. Is it usual to get a headache?

Hi and welcome Pilpala

Bigleg's given you a great link and it should answer all your questions.

I did have a few of the symptoms mentioned right at the beginning, but they disappear quickly and then you start to feel great.

If you read my old posts, you'll see that I too floundered when I first started, but once you relax into the new regime, everything slots into place and is so simple

Good luck, keep us updated on your progress and please feel free to add to my trimming the fat thread

Thankyou, had a good read of that and it's given me something to go on, bookmarked it, so I can refer to it. Already planned my cheese omelette for breakfast!

Hi Pilpala, my diets reduced carbs rather than strict low carb, but I get round the headache by eating low carb during the day then a bit more low gi carbs in the evening which is when I get the headache ☀️

I've avoided carbs today, had meatballs n cheese in subway for lunch, n being nnew years eve put buffet style food out so ate cheese n tomato melted together instead of pizza n sausage n cheese. But a few whiskeys as received good news. 😕
