- manopeace 10y agoDehydrated?
- usaphp 10y agoNot really, I drink plenty of water
- tracker1 10y agoI get the same thing if I don't eat something mid afternoon... usually try to have a few apples at my desk and have one around 10am, and another at 3:30, having lunch around 1... I can skip any given meal, but if I don't have something in the afternoon, I really loose it later in the day.
- steadicat 10y agoDo you eat a lot of sugar? I used to have pastries or cereal and sugar with my coffee at breakfast and sometimes throughout the day. Like for you, a skipped meal or snack meant headaches. I've since weaned off sugar and I can easily go many hours without eating or snacking. I no longer eat breakfast. I suspect that the blood sugar spikes were addictive, i.e. my body desensitized and needed me to frequently consume sugar to keep my blood sugar level high. Try gradually reducing the amount of sugar that you consume, and/or the total amount that you eat at breakfast, as well as the frequency of your snacks throughout the day. Eventually you should be able to do fine on two good meals a day and nothing else.
- usaphp 10y agoInteresting thought thanks, however I mostly eat cottage cheese or greek yogurt with granola in the morning, I almost never eat sweats in the morning.
- steadicat 10y agoFor what it's worth, granola is heavily sweetened (with honey or maple syrup, which are effectively sugar).
- usaphp 10y agoyup, but I honestly only add like a tablespoon of it to add texture to yogurt. It's more like a stress sort of headache that comes from not having food, I feel muscle stiffness in the neck which causes a headache, really weird
