So lightheaded =(

Not a doctor. That keeps up, you might want to go see one. But it sounds to me like you could use some protein. That's just based on what happens when I'm hungry and go for sugars. Which is what fruit mainly is.

Did you by any chance stop drinking soda/caffeine? Could just be caffeine withdrawals

There are some other good posts here on migraines. I recommend you check out some of them.
I used to get them when I didn't eat too for too long at a time. (It was probably low blood sugar.) So fruit was a good way to stop the odd feeling from becoming a full-blown migraine, but even better was to eat a bit earlier before getting that feeling. As someone else suggested, protein or complex carbohydrates might be better as they digest more slowly and keep you at a more even keel. But if you missed that, the fruit gets the sugar into your blood faster. Your fruit and yogurt sounds like a good way to do a bit of both - hope that worked well for you!

Hi, I just started MFP a few days ago and I love it! I started tracking what I eat, and all my workouts its amazing. I even lost 4lbs already. My only problem is last night I started to feel lightheaded so I ate some fruit which ultimatly gave me a migraine. This morning I woke up went to work, I had some fruit and yogurt, started to feel hungry about 2 hours later so I had some oatmeal, and I can feel my headache coming back.

Is this normal? Does my body need to just get used to eating this way? Or is there anything more I can do or eat to make me feel better?

I was lightheaded when I first started - I was eating 1200 calories and it wasn't enough for me.

You may not be eating enough.

i have to eat every few hours or i get lightheaded, usually no headache though. Above someone asked ifyou recently cut your caffeine intake...? that could explain the headache. I also get dizzy when i'm dehydrated, so check your water intake and try to eat some protein with every single meal. Try protein-rich snacks like almonds, cottage chees or yogurt, string cheese.......

Thanks everyone, and yes I have noticed that I dont have enough protein through out the day and I did go from drinking 3 cups of coffee a day to only 1, so Im definitly having caffeine withdrawls. I drink a lot of water though which is good. And according to my goal it says I should be eating 1,392 calories a day.. which is probably a lot less then what I used to eat. So I will just keep doing what Im doing and hopefully my body gets used to it. Thankyou

What goal loss have you set?

If you've set it at 2lb per week, try reducing it by half a lb, and eating a few more calories for a while and see if it gets better.

if you're working out, make sure you eat your extra earned calories (aka exercise calories) !!!

How many calories are you eating? If you drop your calories low to lose wieght you will have some side affects. 1) your body has to start burning fat for energy. I believe that right before it starts to burn fat that you feel dizzy because it has run out of calories through food. Light snack should help. Make sure you are drinking a lot of water. Limit salt as it causes you to retain water. 2) Migraines... I have had 2 in my life. I reccomend that you stay away from artificial sweetners (all but stevia) and also cheeses.

Don't starve but it is a given fact us americans eat way more than we really need. Take it slow. I have lost 70 pounds and it has taken me almost a year. Time goes by fast. Just keep at it everyday even when you don't see any changes. Take lost of pics to look back at. It helps the mind adjust to the new you. Good luck.
