Hi Annvt,

Headaches are very common when beggining lowcarb. They usually do no last more than a week sometimes two. Giving up caffien is probably making it worse. You can take a pain reliever, don't make yourself suffer or you will get discouraged. Another thing you might try, drink lite coffee, and ween yourself off that way. That's how I did it. And trust me, NO ONE drinks more coffee than I used to! I still drink alot of decaf. Alot of people continue to drink reg. coffee in moderation and have no problem. It all depends, everyone is different.

Good luck to you, and keep on posting. Let us know how you're doing
