    Day 3.

    I managed to go over on my carb intake yesterday, 41g instead of the 20g I was aiming for. But so far I have dropped 4lbs in 2 days. This may be just the post holiday detox thing, but either way, I don't feel tired and I seem to be functioning as normal. I had a headache most of yesterday. But that seems to be the only side effect so far.
    I feel full more of the time so the need to snack seems to have subsided.

    I will be doing my first lo carb cycle ride tonight, (26 miles) so that should remove any of the glycogen that may be left in my system from the holiday carbs. I hope, so the Keto will then be well on its way to doing what it's supposed to do.

    You have dropped water weight due to reducing carbohydrates.

    I too am on day 3, but I've managed to hit the 20 grams of carbs. I figure the first week will be all water weight and not much else

    The headache is probably low electrolytes from losing some water. Try drinking a cup of broth or using salt tablets. It will help.
