5 days in and the headache is still horrible. I ' ve followed the diet precisely. No cheating. I ' ve read the flu last for only a couple of days but its been 5 and no relief. I ' m considering taking in some caffein to see if this cures the problems.....
Has anyone else had the " flu " this long?

Hello. Mine lasted for 6 days. On the 7th morning, I knew something was different, gone was the headache, and full of energy. I felt great. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi mine lasted a good week and possibly even more the first time around - it really depends on the kind of diet you had before - a lot of people who drank things w / caffeine in them may experience a lot of withdrawl when first going on atkins - but don ' t give in and try to cure it w / caffeine because it may set you back and it may start you all over again possibly - just give a few more days and you will be glad you didn ' t take the caffeine [ / icon_smile. gif] feel better soon too!
