HEADACHES - months and months in.

[Dotultimate]

Hey, i've been on Atkins for over a year - i was on OWL for a while but went back to induction about 4 weeks ago (my OWL was only about 25 g a day so i havnt done much except eat a few less bits of broccoli than before)

For the last two days ive been getting headaches after I eat.

I just had a tuna salad: tuna, mayo, pepper, celery, lettuce, sprouts and now my head is aching... I drink 2-3litres of water a day and take suppliments.

Any thoughts?

hmm .. a bit of a mystery there! Are you sure its related to foods you are eating?

I don't know what else it would be... i'm at work... i'm fine... it's lunch time... i make lunch, enjoy lunch... then i get a headache!!

Oh well Some things are a mystery I suppose.... I actually feel like im craving sugar physically... although I'm not wanting sugar...i feel my body is saying GIVE ME SUGAR

But i havnt had sugar for over a year so its a bit weird to start now!

My job gives me a headache every day.

Sorry about my last post. (can you tell I hate my job???)

Could it be that you need glasses?

Have you been eating those foods all along? Did you just start eating one of them just recently after not eating it for a while? If so, it could be a food trigger for you even though it's an allowable food. Have you just recently started drinking soda or consuming caffeine?

Have you had an eye test recently?

Hey guys... ok in answer to your questions:
1. I wear reading glasses at work - I got re-tested 5 months ago and my perscription is fine.
2. No, I have not STARTED drinking caffiene or soda, quite the opposite. As of two weeks ago i cut out all diet soda and caffiene (even tea). I use to be a heavy soda/coffee drinker and had terrible withdrawal headaches for 4 days but have been find since then - i got past the dependency pretty quickly.
3. I have not started east ANYTHING i didnt eat before.... the only thing i'm eating more of is mayonnaise....but im only eating 1tbs more a day than usual, so that wont be it..... i have bacon and eggs for breaky, a green salad and tuna with mayo for lunch.... nothing exciting. I dont know whats wrong!

hmmm, I don't know either but perhaps a dr. visit is in order if that nagging headache doesn't go away.

Hope you feel better soon.
