Headaches and low moods are quite normal during the adjustment stage, which can even last up to a few weeks. One thing to try would be to get into ketosis gradually, just omitting certain types of carbs at a time, this way the adjustment phase can be more comfortable.
Maybe you didn't drink enough water?
Foods and supplements containing a high level of L-tyrosine and serotonin help with the bad mood :)

Yeah, I just 'jumped' right in, perhaps a gradual transition would have worked better for me...... and more water. Is it correct you need more water to help burn fat tissue?
Many thanks :)
As far as I know "fat-metabolism" requires a lot more water. When Peter (my husband) is in ketosis, he drinks 2-4 l liquid / day. If he wouldn't drink this much, he would experience headaches, weakness/sick feelings.
I usually go through a minimum of 2 litres a day, I'm a bit of a tea-monster ;) lol
