Initial Primal Results + Morning Headaches? page

[Diver69]

Hi All,

I am about 8 days into primal. I am eating as follows:

1000: Whey Protein Shake
Lunch: Meat/Fish salad with olive oil
1500: Fruit /nut snack
Dinner: Meat stir fry or meat salad

In 8 days I have lost aprox 4 pounds and 3% body fat. I was 172cm, 72kg and 23% fat (tanita body fat scales) before starting.

I work out every second day, mix of weights, indoor rowing, elliptical trainer.

Overall very happy BUT...........

In the morning I wake up with a horrible headache - I am not drinking alcohol at all for month of Jan - so its not that

Any thoughts?

Many Thanks!!

PS: I am drinking lots and lots of water, dehydration is not an issue

Could be what we call a carb flu caused by a sudden reduction in carbs towards the beginning of going primal. It will pass.
