Starting ADF tomorrow - headaches putting me off - tips please ?

I've done ADF before and lost a lot of weight all now put back on

I'm an emotional eater - reaching for rubbish to deal with my roller coaster emotions , stress and anxiety . I need to tackle this and plan to read and do adult colouring books to help me relax .

My biggest issue is how rubbish I feel on a fast day - the headaches are awful and paracetamol doesn't touch it Sad

I do think this comes from the lack of sugar for that day .

So my plan is on a fast day to have an apple and a low cal yoghurt for breakfast - hoping this will help me deal with the sugar withdrawal and minimise the headache .

Any other tips for headache coping ?

I've found I get really bad headaches on FDs when I have eaten a lot of rubbish the rest of the week. The first few FDs after Christmas were awful.

The best way I have found to tackle the problem is to cut down on the sugar across your whole diet and the FDs become less of an issue.
