    I get them when I don't drink enough water. Never noticed them from lack of carbs...

    I usually get coca-cola withdrawals every 2-3 days. So, every 2-3 days I drink one if something like coffee won't get rid of it. After that, if I drink a coke I make sure to spend an extra 20-30 minutes doing some type of workout. :)

    On top of what I said, every time I break my "No Soda" rule, I drink double the amount of water PLUS my 64 fl oz (8 cup) requirement. So if I drink a 12 oz coke, I will drink 88 oz of water.

    Drink lots of water and see if you can find a chelated magnesium supplement...helps my husband with the carb stuff.

    It's the caffeine. This probably won't be a popular answer...but drink a diet coke each day.

    Drink more water?

    I always get a massive headache if I'm not drinking enough water. I chug a glass, and feel fine in 20 minutes. Cheaper then Advil ;)
