Keto Diet Update: No more Migraines.

By migraine123

1 min read

So far, I am on day 35 of my "keto diet". It may not be totally strick in keto terms but I have cut carbs and sugar from my diet. I have suffered one single migraine though. Probably caused by serious lack of sleep. I forced myself to stay awake until 4am in order to photograph the Milky Way. Apart from that I am migraine free.
If you haven't tried major dietary change then please give it a try. You may be surprised...
I wish you all well.

Dear migraine123 , So glad to hear the keto diet works for you! I am very underweight and can't cut out the carbs you have to on that diet. I Have cut out sugar , though and I think that helps somewhat with my " mini migraines "! Thank you for your post. I believe it would help to change your diet. Good Luck!

 <inline-mention username="danadibs1979" user-id="3712883"/> hi, keto combined with intermittent fasting has helped me loads in reducing the frequency of my migraines. I also take 25mg Amitriptyline daily. For me, this combination has made a massive difference to the quality of the life. I also try to exercise as much as possible.
