SBD and headaches?

I''ve started South Beach Diet and am on Day 5. I have been drinking a lot
of water and tea, exercising moderately and have been eating a fairly
regular intervals so as not to get famished. For the past two nights I have
gotten excruciating headaches. Has anybody else heard of or experienced
headaches while on the beginning stage of SBD? Is it a result of sugar /
carb withdrawal? Thanks.

While I did not have the same experience, I believe there is something
in the book about it and it's supposed to be temporary. My workout
partner had the same thing and by day 4 she felt fine.

"excruciating" ?

I'd visit your doctor.

You know, if you stopped acting like you knew everything and actually
read the book, you'd find out that the diet advocates pretty much the
same things you claim to, only in a more structured format.

Do you have any other symptoms? If the headache is too bad, I would
visit a doctor (duh).

What exactly do you eat?

I remember that Dr Atkins warned of headaches for those who go on the
Atkins induction, could be similar. I would not expect that headache
to be "excruciating" though.

Well, I don't have experience of SBD, but the headaches I've had in
the past when giving up coffee or coming down from a high sugar diet
to one with almost none are so bad they don't respond to any
painkillers. In my experience, you just have to go through a couple
of days of what I would call "excrutiating" pain and then your body
adjusts.

Have you given up or cut back a lot on caffeine? Caffeine withdrawal
gives me the worst headaches.
