It is so much easier for me to avoid various foods because I know they could be giving me a headache that will make me feel absolutely horrible--if I could have that same attitude about being fat or just feeling listless, I'd be doing a lot better at losing weight. I have no problems eating bananas, because I KNOW that within a few hours I will be throwing up--swift, severe, and certain. But the correlation between food that's bad for us (in large quantities) and our gaining weight is none of those.</p> Recently I have been on a plan aimed at removing all potential migraine triggers from my diet (after a few months I’ll add them back in to see which are MY triggers).
