Any tips for dealing with the headaches?

Hi Guys,

First time Whole 30-er. I'm on Day 7. Any tips for dealing with the headaches?

Thanks!

If you're still having headaches on day 7 it could be down to a couple of things:

Lack of water - we recommend a half an ounce of water per pound of body weight, daily

Lack of salt - especially if you came from a typical SAD diet you'll now be ingesting a lot less salt - add some to your food!

Lack of starchy veg - we'd recommend a fist sized portion of starchy veg per day - more if you are particularly active, or prone to anxiety/depression

Lack of fat - fat really is your friend here   

If you'd like to check that you're on the right track please feel free to post a few day's worth of your food/liquid intake, indicating portion sizes, along with sleep/stress/activity levels, and in the meantime don't be afraid to take a tylenol...

Thank you! I usually drink my 64 oz of water a day but today may have been short.

Thank you for the reminder on starchy veggies. It may be that as well.

Firstly consult doctor for headache it can be risky for health.It can also because of hair problems.If we are using any harsh chemical products it can affect many body parts as skin,hair and eye etc.So to take care of it try to consult doctor or try any home remedies.I would recommend you to apply oil so that you may feel fresh.Try to avoid tension be happy and do good activities.You can also try to make hairstyles which are free and don't have any pain.It can definitely help you do try it once. For styles you could look here and share your experience.
