Not feeling great on low carb

I'm currently 10 weeks into a low carb diet. Lost 23 pounds so far. The past few days I've been suffering headaches and intense hunger. I've been good and sticking to the diet and up until the past few days I've felt great.

I know I could just be ill, my sleep is poor at the moment so that's not going to help either.

Any other suggestions?

If you're 10 weeks in, it won't be carb flu.

However, the headaches don't sound good - are you drinking enough? Are you getting all your electrolytes - especially sodium? (So are you using salt in/on your food?)

If you're really hungry, are you making sure that you're following a high fat diet?
