i love the taste of strawberry slimfast! it's terrible stuff - so much simple sugars, it creates a HUGE spike in your blood sugar, which will then make a HUGE spike in insulin, which will set you on a glycemic roller coaster and cause you grief.
that's probably the cause of the headaches.
if you're going to do a meal replacement, do one with a low or moderate glycemic index to avoid both the blood sugar highs (which can nudge you along to type 2 diabetes) and avoid the "oh my god i'm starving and have a headache" a couple hours after drinking it.1
