I am day 3 in my new LC lifestyle. I have been tracking my net carbs and have been at 20 and under all 3 days. yesterday I had a headache, just mild, but today it seemed worse. I have had to take ibuprofen for it. Is this part of the "keto flu"? I haven't had an nausea just a headache.. Is this a good sign I am in the right direction at least? :smile:

    I think it varies from person to person but it could be a symptom of keto "flu" and you will need to look at your electrolyte balance. It could also be a withdrawal symptom as well. I know when I stopped drinking soda of all types I would get headaches which I always equated to some type of physical withdrawal.

    Check out the launch pad sticky at the top of the group posts for more information on electrolytes and other LCHF info.

    Yep, I too suspect you need to up your salt intake. Dissolve one bouillon cube in the appropriate amount of water and drink two (2) cubes twice daily.
