Anyone else get headaches during the course of their dieting? I went down another 100 calories today and my head is killing me...what do you do to deal with it?

I too have had a few of those nasty buggers. I have come to realze that some are from not having enough water in me for the day. Also have you cut caffiene too drastically? You can still have your coffee just be sure to drink more water to compensate for it.
I take 800 mg ibuprofen when the headaches get to be too much. I am careful not to use it too often though. I am not very good at taking medications, I prefer to go it natural as long as I can. But believe me we all need a little help sometimes.
Be patient, listen to your body and you will overcome this obstacle. Think of it as a test - one you will pass with flying colors.

Sometimes it's happens when I cut out all sugar...you might try finding something low cal with a bit of sugar or adding back some carbs...how is your analysis looking...try to keep the % balanced.

Try to eat 6 small meals a day and see if that helps. If I go to long with out food I get a nasty headache.
Wow, thanks guys! I think I'll keep some ibprofen on hand today and make sure I'm not drinking way less caffeine than usual (I'm trying to cut out on diet coke...but for now I may have an extra cup of coffee to compensate). My %s seem normal (about 50/25/25/), should I play with those more?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
I get terrible migranes... usually i can contribute some of them to dehydration and if I go too long without food... I have medication for them but it completely wipes me out. Sometimes if i'm going really heavy on legs i'll get these random headaches.. weird... it feels like all of the blood in my body rushes to my head and makes me want to pass out :p
