How to deal with hunger headaches?

This was an issue even before I started fasting. If I didn’t eat within a timely manner after waking up I get a headache from being hungry. I started fasting this week and after a couple days this is starting to happen also, which is making it difficult. I drink between 80 to 100 ounces of water a day so it’s not dehydration.

If this keeps happening that’s going to make things difficult for me. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice?

This was an issue for me too. I’ve had hunger headaches my whole life. I found with IF I had to start low and go slow. 12:12 for the first few weeks, then 13:13 for a few weeks etc. And beyond that I would slowly introduce longer fasts. I was able to avoid headaches this way. Good luck!
