Headaches?

Does anyone get headaches when cutting calories? I think it just may be withdrawal symptoms. Is there any way to minimize the headaches?

    I used to get headaches when I'd start a new diet. I believe it was from sugar withdrawal. Sometimes healthy changes can have initial negative symptoms. Just keep with it. Your body will adjust and you'll feel awesome... :-)

    I went to see a dietitian last week, and since then I have been eating what she suggests and have been having a dull headache since, I have really cut out sugars as she suggested so maybe that is it?

    I have been getting fresh air and taking advil,
    hopefully it will stop soon

    Good Luck!
