I started my FULL ON diet on Monday. Today is day 4. I have had HORRENDOUS headaches! How do I get rid of them and what is causing them?

    Why not start today? Today is a better day.

    Drinking lots of water?

    did you cut out caffeine? or carbs? Both cause withdrawal headaches

    I'd start by asking yourself what you gave up. Did you give up caffeine by chance? Cause you could definitely get headaches (I know I do) when you don't get your caffeine since your body is probably addicted to it. They will go away eventually.

    Did you add anything new? You could have a food intolerance and not know it.

    Is the diet stressing you out? That could cause headaches...try yoga or deep breathing exercises.

    Are you getting enough water?

    I've cut out all SODA however I am still having a cup of coffee in the morning. I am drinking plenty of H20. Hope all these headaches are worth it! ;)

    Soda is packed with Caffene and Sugar (carbs).

    Has your caffeine intake decreased? That could be it too...you're not getting the amount you are used to.
