After educating myself about the Paleo Diet, i started the diet about 4 days ago. For 4 days, it went fine. i had the cravings but nothing too serious. i thought it was more psychological than anything. Last night, as I tried to go to sleep, I started getting a bad headache. i tried to sleep through it but it was very hard.
So i got up and ate some strawberries since they're low in sugar, thinking it might have been cravings again. Ate about a handful of them and waited about 10 minutes, hoping that the headache would disappear. nope.
I caved in. i went to the nearest store and binged on some carbs. And guess what? The headache went away after about 15 minutes.
Has anybody gotten headaches as they start a diet like this? i am going to once again start the diet but I want to know what exactly causing the headache? Is it really a lack of carbohydrates or is it that im dropping significant amounts of water through training? or is it a lack of a specific vitamin or nutrient?
