This past week I found a new way to lose weight. It is not by far the easiest way or not the most appetizing. It is called the Migraine Diet. Basically it consists of waking up at 3 in the morning with a raging headache, thinking okay some pain medicine will make this go away and then I will be able to go back to sleep. Only to be fooled an hour later when you still haven’t slept and your headache is worse than ever. Then comes the migraine’s friend, Ms. Nausea. Because Ms. Nausea does not come to any party alone she brings Mr. Throw Up Your Guts. Yep folks from 4 am to 6:30 you huddle on the bathroom floor praying these friends would leave but nope they decide the party is not over. Mr. Throw Up Your Guts has made friends with Mr. Trashcan and they have meeting in ways unheard of I know you don’t want to hear of. They take great pleasure in tormenting you past the point of no return. You continue to hope that they will leave. Finally around noon, Mr. Throw Up Your Guts has decided to leave because Mr. Trashcan decides that he longer will accept what Mr. Throw Up Your Guts is offering. However Ms. Nausea and her friend, Migraine still linger till about dinnertime. Thankfully they finally decide to leave and they take six pounds with them. So folks, that is called the Migraine Diet. It is not something I would totally recommend for you to do. But I guess when I stated that I wanted to lose some weight as part of my goals this year, the Migraine diet decided to oblige me.
Seriously, I tried everything to get rid of that migraine but nothing seemed to help. I had not had one of those in a long time. So tell me have you ever done the Migraine diet – if so what remedies worked for you?
Excreirn it has caffeine, asprin and tynole. Chase it with a cup of coffee and have a bit of toast with it. Stick to clear liquid diet untill the puking stops
I wish I could take this but I can’t take anything with aspirin in it. 🙁
I have never heard of this before. I get migraines, but it’s an occasional thing with me, so I am lucky. They are miserable and I could not imagine suffering from them any more often than I do.
I actually used to suffer from migraines. I even started my blog because of problems like that. I completely gave up sugar speaking cane sugar. I also started eating the Candida diet
I don’t have any diets or foods to offer you for this problem. I sometimes get horrible headaches and no matter what I try they don’t go away, unless I just go to sleep 🙁
Ugh. I get migraines so bad that I end up at the ER with IVs to help combat them and usually, they just take the edge off and I suffer. It’s awful and I’m on nightly preventative meds for them.
I have never heard of the migraine diet before. I can tell you when I do Paleo diet my headaches are gone!
This sounds terrible! Try drinking some more liquids and getting some fresh air, hope you feel better!
Yikes, I wouldn’t know what to do about that. Migraines are the worst though. Hopefully a doctor can help.
Ha! There’s a diet I’ve never tried. I don’t suffer from migraines, I’ve heard they are the worst.
I feel for you! I used to have those and it’s horrible. I begain taking Allegra everyday and that has helped tremendously. Before I would sleep with a cold wet rag and that would actually relieve it. Good luck.
No, but I have heard that what you eat affects those with migraines. It’s a terrible thing to suffer from regularly.
Wow – I’ve never had a migraine – but it woulds make sense that food might have something to do with it, right? I am so sorry to hear how bad it gets! Hugs
I haven’t had a migraine in a very long time but I have had them and I do feel for you. I found that mine were triggered by poor diet and when I corrected that, they went away.
I have never even heard of this. I am lucky and dont get headaches very often.
I have never heard of this before, I don’t really get migraines at all!
I’m glad I never get any migraines, never heard of this either!
This is new to me but I totally believe our diet is linked to so much happening in our bodies.
I never even heard about it yet.. seems so new to me. Never encountered it either.
Oh the migraine diet is my least favorite diet of all. So sorry you are dealing with it! I have found that pain meds with caffine in them help me. That and peppermint oil.
This is the first time i hear about this diet. I get occasional migraines
My sister has suffered from migraines for years. I will have to see if she has heard of the Migraine Diet.
I’ve heard about this and really need to try it out, I get migraines a lot!
Sometimes I am having migraine issues lately. But this is the first time I have heard about this migraine diet. I used to have a cup of coffee and would like to breath fresh air in a calm place on such occasion. I never took any medicines for this so far.
I used to get migraines a lot, and then I changed my diet. No sodas, very little sugars and I don’t get them anymore
