The headaches are usually from too much cortisol being produced, I think. Cortisol gets produced when your body is tapping into stored sugar, but sometimes too much is produced which makes a person feel bad. The after-effects can last a fairly long time.
One thing that helps (counterintuitively!) is exercise. That produces adrenaline, which counteracts the cortisol. Also drinking something sour, like lemon-juice tea. Vinegar in water is good too, just *before* you think you might get the headache. I don't know how long it takes to go away ... eating more protein during your eating period might help, and eating slower-to-digest starches, or taking some vinegar-water with your meal (or as salad dressing).

I am almost 3wks in with Fast-5 and am still getting headaches about two hours before my break-fast. It goes away slightly upon eating and makes for a bad evening. Am I the only one? When will it end?
