I am one week in . I have had a lot of headaches I’m guessing from the lack of sugar and all those bad for me carbs that I’m addicted to.
But I have good news I am down 3 whole pounds.
I did struggle on day 3-4 so I did give myself a cup of my favorite tapioca pudding each day then right back to the strict BSD way.
I did feel guilty but it did relieve my headache each day .
Anyone have any other ideas of what I could do so as not to sabotage myself?

Hi,

Make sure that you are drinking enough liquid 2-3 litres. You might try something that is high in complex carbohydrate as suggested in the book, such as a small amount of brown or wild rice, or perhaps a few rolled oats in something. You could try one of the flatbread recipes on this forum with either coconut or chickpea flour. I thought that the book suggest taking a paracetamol for a day or two if you have headaches, but I can’t find it now I look, but I did for day 3 and 4 and then I stopped having headaches after that.

Thanks for sharing.
My headaches are terrible too – I’m on day 3. I caved today & took pills. It’s worse at night so I’ve been sleeping on a hot water bottle to ease the headache a bit, not sure how advisable that is but it helps!

I guess I need to invest in the book it seems that it holds many secrets to success that I may need in the future.
Thank you both very much for your replys every little bit helps as we are a family trying to Suceed!

Fofi , so a complex carbohydrate would be something like maybe an apple and some Almond Butter (instead of peanut butter)the Almond butter I can grind in front of me at my local grocery and it has nothing added to it at all it is only ground almonds.
