Headaches in first week?

chomp · 11 May 2015

I started SW on Friday and I've managed to do quite well and stick to it (apart from accidentally going over syns on the first day Friday) and I had a nagging headache before I went to bed last night, didn't sleep well because of it and still can't shake it.

It's in the front of my head and feels a bit tension headachey if anything.

- I've been drinking a sensible amount of water and cups of tea - around 1L of water and 3 or 4 cups of tea so don't think dehydration or over hydration is the cause
- I've been eating often, but free foods for the most part. I'm not hungry
- I've eaten meat/fish with plenty of protien

Any other members suffering with headaches while on SW? Any ideas for helping me get rid of mine?

Could be sugar withdrawel, and something to just keep an eye on over the next few days.

Hope you feel better soon!

HI This is my second week and I had a headache that would not shift for about a week. I put it down to 'withdrawl'. I feel a lot better this week and lost 3.5lbs in my first week, so I would say hold out and it will dissapear.

Thanks for the advice guys - It's a dealable headache as long as I don't have to syn paracetamol but no good if it's going to carry on long term!

Hi, it's my first week too and I've felt really sluggish the past couple of days and also had a very heavy headache. Must been withdrawal.... like a detox I guess. Got to be a good thing? x

I also had head ache issues at first but I treated myself like I was on a mad diet.. I really restricted everything. Now I fill up on superfree foods and not just fruit and yorgurt! (Fruit has so much sugar.. This didn't help the pain!!) So I used HEXA & HEXB for breakfast (crispy minis & milk) and fruit.. This way I wa sready for the day on a full stomach!

However, After one week of pure slimming world and feeling fab! 2nd week is here.... and i am so blooming hungry

Headache has gone today but so has my appetite - I've been having hexa and hex6 and averaging 6 syns a day but I'm really like blah - don't want anything.

I ate home made scotch eggs and salad for lunch but didn't WANT it.

The body is a bizarre thing!

I am a couple weeks in now but definitely noticed headache, low mood and low energy the first few days. I took it to be my body happily detoxing from all the junk I had been eating. Then one morning I woke up feeling soooooo much better and haven't looked back.

Well worth riding out.
