Hi All,

As I am eating less I am noticing that I am getting headaches frequently.. Has anyone else had this issue?? Any recommendations on what to do?? Thanks!!

  • I get headaches when I don't drink enough water or I don't have enough potassium in my diet. Also, if you have stopped on coffee, you could be having caffeine withdrawal.

    My first two suggestions would be to drink more water, and make sure you're actually eating enough. If it becomes a recurring issue, maybe you should bring it up with your doctor?

    You could also be having headaches from carb/sugar withdrawal if you eat less than you did before. Caffeine withdrawal can do the same thing too.

    I'm having headaches as well. I will try to increase the water intake. I didn't know you could get headaches from sugar & carb withdrawls - that could definitely be the source for me.
    thanks!
