I too had terrible headaches for the first 3 days, also reckon it was the caffeine and wine exiting my body.  I took a  lot of headache pills!!!!!!!!!!! and pushed on with also gassy stomach and bloated but I feel great now (wnd day after stopping) eating healthy, still lots of veges and plan to make a vege soup to keep up with when I get peckish.  It is worth pushing through all this.  I did not do much excercise the first couple of days but then I resumed my 5km daily walks.  As it is only 7 days you can see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Hang in there!

I know I get WICKED headaches when I don't have my coffee - so I've been having it.  And I also use half & half which I know is not allowed on the diet, but I simply won't make it through the week without my coffee and half and half.  Today is only Day One for me so I don't know if I've screwed myself up yet.  We'll see, I guess.  Except for the coffee thing though, it's been pretty easy today - I've been surprised.

Keltity,  Thanks.  I don't think it's going to cause too much trouble - I don't drink much - usually two cups that I don't even finish.  I'm sure I'm consuming about 60 calories for the day in coffee. Of course - I won't know for sure until weigh-in time.
