Headaches & Eating Healthy

As far as it being common or nothing to worry about I wouldn't have the first clue. I would say that if you have concerns then yes, you should go see a doctor! Best of luck to you!

I used to get really bad migraines, but once I starting working out and losing weight they pretty much stopped. The only time I get them now is during my TOM. If you get them every day, you might want to call your doctor.

I get them occasionally when my body is feeling deprived, especially if I am low on carbs. Once you start to adjust they should go away. I only get them after I race and don't eat enough right after. If you are feeling dizzy or weak you may not be eating enough calories. Remember that this program is just a computer using numbers. It does not evaluat your body. Try eating a bit more and see if they go away. The headaches are usually my body telling me I am depriving it of what it needs.

Good Luck.

I have been on a program for four weeks and I am following a training diet of protein, veggies and lots of water and minimal carbs.. only complex and only about 40% of my daily intake. I work for doctors and believe me..don't see a doctor unless you can't manage your headache. I am losing about 1.4 pounds a week and hitting the gym 6 days a week and eating 1339 calories (per my BMI) and then whatever I work out and lose I eat back because I am already in a 861 calorie deficit from what I use to eat (2200 a day, sometimes more!!)
I work for a detox clinic and let me tell you as other's have said..the body is adaptable and when you stop giving it what it is used to it thinks something is wrong. Stop taking Heroine and your body freaks out...so imagine any thing a can cause you to withdrawl. You can apply that to any addiction ( even a break up) the body responds by sending signals that indicates something is not "normal".
Give yourself some more time. Try sipping a little caffeine to see if it is this or drink water..you may be dehydrated. Take a nibble of something you haven't been having and I bet your headache goes away!

Your body is probably just adjusting to the dietary changes. I have a problem with chronic tension headaches and migraines and not much has helped, including healthier eating. If you start getting too concerned, I'd see a doctor just to be safe.

I bet it's the lack of sweet tea Are you drinking unsweetened tea? Caffeine withdrawal is definitely a very real thing! It can be really awful if you go cold turkey, especially.

I got more headaches when I started cutting my calories and upping my exercise, and more calories helped a lot but not totally. But it turns out I'm incredibly low on iron, and the doctor independently decided to move on that. The pills have helped already. I've been low on iron for ages (years) and it took it affecting my hemoglobin enough for the doc to even mention it, lol. So you might want to look at your last blood levels and see if you have any questions for your doc.

I mean, I would've taken a multivitamin had I known, you know? Doctors can be strange about non-critical things, so it's not a bad idea to look into it. I would say just take a multivitamin in case, but you don't want to overdo any vitamin you might be too high on (like iron itself). Just get your last results, imho. Simple enough Good luck!

Since starting to eat better 19 days ago I have started having daily headaches. I did it when I was Atkins but now I am just counting calories and eating better foods. No limits on anything but fried foods and sweet tea. Is this common or should I see my doctor?

How many calories per day are your eating? Are you exercising and eating back the exercise calories?

If you are worried, see your doctor.

How much sweet tea do you drink? It could be the lack of caffeine. Also, how is your Iron intake? When your iron is too low it can result in headaches.
