Headaches and a little big grumpy...

Did any of you have this problem when you first started out?

I joined CC on Feb. 23 and I also go to the gym. I drink nothing but water and I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day. I also take vitamins such as apple cidar vinegar every time I eat. But I've been noticing I have had a constant headach and I've been grumpy lately. I do get enough sleep too so its not that...I'm just wondering if any of you had the same problem. I've lost 10.5 lbs so far so I hope I don't need to change anything lol.

Thanks!

If you go to the gym, you should probably be eating more. I don't know your stats, but you need to make sure you only have a 500 - 800 calories difference between what you eat and what you burn. Make sure you're including your gym calories.

Good Luck and congrats on the weight loss so far.

It could be withdrawal from caffeine or sugar.  Did you drink alot of soda or eat alot of sugar before?

I did get headaches. At first I thought it was lack of calories,  but they went away when I adjusted my intake of carbs but kept the calories the same level.

I personally need a certain level of whole grain-type carbs in my diet. What works best for me is a serving at breakfast and 1-2 servings at dinner, and a snack with a serving of carbs sometime during the day on days I exercise a lot.

Come to think of it, so far today I've had no grains and that probably explains the headache that's been coming on.... !! Breakfast was yogurt/fruit smoothie, lunch was fish and veggies, snack was an apple...

... off to the kitchen!

I drank alot of coffee and soda. Also ate probably alot too. I have since cut all of these things out completely. I cut these out before joining CC tho. Been about a month with no coffee and a few months with no pop.

I should probably eat more when I go to the gym too....not sure about the grains thing..maybe I should try that too.
