Headaches?

How does everyone deal with headaches (mostly ocular-like migraines) I started fasting yesterday morning, have only had water and coffee (w. Skim milk) and towards the end of the night last night onto this morning I have a really bad headache - this isn’t the first time and I don’t want to take Advil/Tylenol etc.

Is this my body wanting sugar?

Answer

Electrolytes in water does help. Maintaining your normal caffeine intake also helps.

Yes I find fasting a migraine trigger. But keeping everything else steady does help.

Try also doing your longer fasts lunch to supper, so eat a healthy lunch day 1, enough so you are not starving and headachy at bedtime, then fast through the next day but eat a light supper a few hours before bed to break your fast.
