[QUOTE="copey399, post: 900620, member: 193670"] Usually, in the past, when I've tried to cut out all the sweet stuff to try and lose weight I've ended up with frequent Migraines which I suppose I've used as an excuse to come off the diet and fail again. Ten days into the LCHF diet and I've had 2 so far. I'm "lucky" that I don't get the pounding, lay you out headaches now, in later life, but believe me I've had them so I do know what a full-on migraine is like. Nowadays it is mostly visual. Starts with blind spot, partial vision, then what I call "the fizzies" when it all goes squiggly and then it just goes off eventually. Sometimes I find it hard to make sense of what I'm reading or what someone is saying to me. Don't worry, I've seen my GP and he gets them himself and says that there's nothing they can do because all the Migraine tablets are aimed at relieving the headache part of it. Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else has had them on the LCHF diet and does the body adapt to the sugar-free eating or are they just something you have to live with? They're really just inconvenient most of the time but I'd hate to have them more frequently because if it happens when I'm driving it's scary, although I can see enough to pull over or get myself to a safe place til it goes off.
