Question

Since eating healthier, I've been getting headaches. Is this just my body going through junk food withdrawls? I'm drinking lots of water. I hope it stops eventually. Anyone else dealing with this?  

Answer 1

I had it for the first 3 weeks. now in for 5 weeks and it get better and better  

Answer 2

The withdrawals suck.  

Answer 3

If you are eating lots of sugar free things this can happen as well. My body can’t handle sugar alcohols very well and headaches could be from that too.  

Answer 4

Coming off of sugar usually causes a headache, at least for a few days. But, also artificial sweeteners can cause headaches, especially asparthame.

Answer 9

Have you cut back on caffeine? That would do it!

Answer 11

Make sure you are drinking enough water. Headaches can also be caused by dehydration. Combine that with sugar withdrawal and they will be worse

Answer 12

Sugar withdrawals

Answer 13

Thanks, everyone! I think it's the sugar withdrawals. I've been good about keeping hydrated, and my caffeine intake has remained the same, because I don't like my coffee or tea sweet. Thankfully the headaches have been getting progressively better and easier to manage. Hopefully that means I'm over the worst of it! Yay, for healthy progression!  

Answer 14

Yes it happens to me too. Sometimes I even feel like I have a touch of the flu.
