Hi Folks,

Has anyone started to have daily headaches since you began tracking your meals and staying within the 1200 calorie limit. It seems that after lunch lately, I get a headache until I eat something sweet. I have been cutting back on the carbs, sugars and fats in my daily intake. Any advice, suggestions, or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a wonderfully blessed day!

    it's just withdrawal symptoms. are you eating enough fruit? that will keep your sugar levels up and still not be too calorific. x

    Oh this is right up my alley, I had the same problem. I had a BAD sweeth tooth, still do just not as bad. But your body is use to all that sugar and those bad cars it will go away, eat strawberries, kiwi etc

    Also make sure your activity level on here is set right. If set too low and you are very active you may be eating too few calories...

    If you were drinking soda/coffee/tea (caffeine) and now you're cutting them out gradually or completely.... this can most definitely be the problem!

    I had the same issue when I started really reducing my sugar intake. I had to just take it in stages and gradually reduce sugar in my diet. If you need to, keep having a bit of sugar for a few days or weeks till your body adjusts. Some will say to go cold turkey, but I found that too painful. Remember that this is your journey to better health and to take it at your own pace.
