[QUOTE="BrianTheElder, post: 1585455, member: 311044"] There is a theory that the brain needs a supply of glucose (from carbs) to function properly and that would explain the headaches. However, carbs are not an essential macronutrient and your liver will produce glucose for the brain if you don't ingest carbs. Many health practitioners unfortunately believe the urban myth that carbs are essential. Far more likely is that a sudden change in diet has caused your problems, or not enough water or salt. Read around the forums on the keto diet and you will see that you can get something called keto flu at the start. Perhaps you need a more gradual introduction. [/QUOTE]
