Post Junk Food Headache/Migraine?

stephm77

Good evening everyone? After a few days, or weekend, of eating crap food, then going back to eating well, do any of you have a comedown headache or migraine? I get them every time I stop eating healthy and they are so painful and debilitating! What do you all do to cope? I hate just saying, "eating this cookie will make me feel better because that's what my body wants!" and then eating a cookie. Or maybe I should just never eat unhealthy... ha!

man, Ive had this horrible headache that wont go away since saturday when I stared counting calories and had to force myself to eat more than I have in a long time. I dont know if its related or not

No. My migraines are always due to TOM. But if junk gives you headaches, this should help keep you on track with your eating habits! I wonder if dehydration has anything to do with it. A lot of unhealthy food is full of sodium. If you aren't drinking a lot of water, you might be likely to get headaches. Try that and make sure that it isn't just your body telling you to drink more water.

I get sugar withdrawl headaches.  They suck bad and sometimes last for days.  I try to just deal but when it gets really bad I just go to bed even if it's 4:30 in the afternoon.  This motivates me to not go back to eating junk.  Good luck.  Hope you are feeling better soon.  Remember this to shall pass.

Yes, I get headaches when eating healthy...I call it my "carb withdrawal headache". I have one that is killing me right now, so I am going to go to sleep now GL
