Headache tablets, really! I lost 2 stone in 2 months food optimising using SW and not one headache, please be careful, surely your body must be telling you something if this makes you have headaches?

The headaches are from detoxing after few days they go away and I feel great, but I suffer headaches on a daily basis, but last time I did this diet after a few days while on this plan never had headaches again, as soon as I stopped headaches came back. Another reason I can't wait to restart, I love this diet, I've done slimming world, weight watchers but didn't lose much weight. We have to find a diet that we can follow and enjoy, I don't do the extreme version of this diet I do eat an evening meal. I couldn't live on just shakes, soups or a bar. I really love my eggs, chicken, fish, salad and veggies. I also eat oily fish and nuts. My losses are just has good as those on only 4 replacement meals. I also exercise 4 times per week. I only want to lose to stone so nothing to drastic for me.

Hi Linz1971, how has it been going for you?

I restarted after having an op earlier in the year. I got weighed on sunday and restarted monday. I've had a slight headache tonight. I suspect I will start to feel better tomorrow.

I am doing 4 packs mostly, although some days I will do 3 packs and a meal.

Good luck, hope you enjoy the plan.

Caretaker without meaning to sound rude you really don't understand vicds. Headaches are very common the first few days while your body detoxes and gets used to such few carbs. It's not a sign there's a problem. SW and S&S are not comparible

Soz not been on here doing really well 10 lb down in week one and no headaches but I have still been drinking tea and coffee def in ketosis now, on wk two going well, and yes starlight I did think caretakers comment was very rude. He should Stick to slimming world site, thats the diet he is happy following and not pick on the rest of us. Everyone diets differently I would never be rude to anyone dieting no matter what my thoughts maybe.
