| I am not starving myself by any means but just not eating sugar or simple carbs like bread - and I have a smashing headache. |

| Yes I am sure you will experience sugar, gluten or dairy or even caffeine withdrawal headaches. Should be short lived though like only a few days. |

| If you are eating exclusively protein then a headache comes from kidney overwork. |

| I do get a headache or two when quitting sugar cold turkey. Sucks but doesn’t last long. |

Take some Advil to get you through the beginning.
Has your diet changed your caffeine consumption? |

| I think it's best to not do extreme diets or diet changes for this reason. If you cut out sugars and simple carbs slowly, it shouldn't result in a headache. And make sure you're still eating whole grains and other healthy carbs. |

| Yes, sugar and/or carb withdrawal. Possible electrolyte imbalance as well. |

| Yes, I plan on having Tylenol ready when my diet starts tomorrow! It’s amazing how addictive sugar is for my body. |

| Did you quit caffeine? From that yes, diet no. |
