Dull headache all day today....

[Kate]

at first I thought "maybe I didn't have enough coffee" but I definately had enough. So now I am wondering if going off of sugar can cause headaches? I think today is my third day without sugar. I also took a handful of vitamins, but I dont think it could be from them. Is this a normal occurence for those just starting the program? Oh, I am doing MWL and have stuck to the guidelines for two days now. Boy, was it a challenge to not eat the bread!!!

Two things come to mind ~ are you eating enough calories and are you drinking enough water?

Both of these things can and do produce headaches in some people. I am one of them. If I don't eat enough (sometimes I 'forget' to eat due to a busy schedule), or if I get a little dehydrated (it doesn't take much) I'll get a headache. It's my body's way of saying "you didn't listen to my other signals (hunger pangs and/or thirst) so now I'm speaking in a louder voice!"

MWL is great but be sure to take in enough calories for your body's needs. And don't forget to keep well hydrated.

your body going through detox from getting good food and not junk can cause a headache. as Sandie said, drink more water.

things will get better!
