your body is craving for water my friend,have some 

as LCHF you need a $hit ton of water... p.s. dont eat that crap.  

Could be a sensitivity to something in the bars. Stop eating them, and if the headaches don't improve, check with a doctor.  

I would hold off on the bars and see if it helps. For me personally, I like the bars, but they make me a little ill feeling. My body doesn't tolerate them very well. Hope you get to feeling better!  

stay the course. some things, like weaning carbs, require pain and perseverance... 

And don't forget the "sugar alcohol"...  

Yes, I'm thinking the bars are crap too, I hadn't had the headaches before I bought the bars. Don't know what I was thinking... I shouldn't have messed with them in the first place. They put my calories over RDI, they don't satisfy hunger either. Plus these awful headaches. I'm returning these open boxes to Target, I'm getting my money back! 

and keep minding all the electrolytes (NA/K/MG/CA). water can reduce electrolytes. 

Bump up the fat. Coconut oil or Kerryville Irish butter in your coffee, few tablespoons of avocado oil and or Virgin olive oil on just about anything. (LCHF) Stick with real food not manufactures.IE... Atkins bars. You will do better to boil a bunch of eggs and Tillamook cheddar cheese and have that for breakfast. Dense calories. Prep them for the week. Easy to do for busy moms. :) Good for the kids also. 

Yes I'm drinking lots of water, but I have a gut feeling it's those Atkins bars- it's the only thing that has changed in my diet a few days ago- when the headaches started to appear. I think you guys are right about being fake, sugar alcohols, gassy, something about those bars are not right. 

Just like everyone else is saying, it's most likely the water which after you start chugging can take a bit for things to return to normal... Regardless of the "Fart Bars" as Red calls them, ditch them anyway. Eat food you can identify... There isn't some Atkins Tree out there dropping the bars. :D 

I hope you feel better! The Atkins bars are crap candy. I threw away 3 boxes of them because they kept throwing me out of ketosis. I haven't read all of the comments (i'm lazy and limited on time...sue me) but I have a feeling that your headache might be because you're cycling in and out of ketosis and the sugar alcohols in those bars may not be for you. Keep drinking water and get some extra sleep tonight if you can. Take care :) 

Thanks Diva and Frosty, I'm too cheap to throw them away... I'm returning these things to Target and getting my money back! Lol 

Throw them away hun. Take the loss. Anything that can cause that much stomach irritation will trigger headaches. I got HORRIBLE headaches when I ate something my body didn't like. And that Atkins stuff is GARBAGE!!!! Its NOT real food. I wouldn't feed one of those to a homeless person. 

Ditto Smarty. I just won't pay for bad food. FYI if you ever shop at Trader Joes, they have an excellent return policy as well. Make those things GONE and use the cash for something better for ya.  

I don't know if I like Trader Joes more for their food or the pretty women that shop in there. Lol 

I always get headaches from Splenda.  

LOL we don't have a TJ here. At least I don't believe we do. Ill have to look. 

I get headaches from artificial sweeteners. ... have a young coconut or two it will mess up the carbs but worth feeling better.  

Hi Smarty, in my room here at Westgate and lonely. My wife went to gamble. Watching Forensic Files on TV, and on FS. Wow, what else is new? lol
