Headaches are unfortunately a normal thing the first few days of the VLCD. They usually pass by the end of the first week.
A couple things to check in case it is unrelated the HCG side effect.
Enough hydration? Drinking enough might not be enough. Adding some mineral salt to your water helps your body absorb it and helps balance electrolytes.
Caffeine or sugar withdrawal.
Stevia can cause headaches. If you have started using a different sweetener, it could be part of the problem.
Consider trying corydalis. Its an ayurvedic herb that works like ibruprophen for pain relief. It seems to work as well or better for about half the people that try it. Its great if you are one of the lucky 50%. It works great for my husband, but not so much for me.
