Default Hunger headache cures?

Does anyone have any suggestions for hunger headaches besides ibuprofen / acetaminophen which tend to tear up the stomach when taken on an empty stomach? I am starting a VLCD diet so "just eat something" is no longer the answer. I also am still recovering from wisdom teeth removal and so need ibuprofen regularly for a few more days! (I know, poor timing!)

You shouldn't be hungry. Fat satiates....so my guess is that you are not eating enough fat.

My typical breakfast is usually 3 eggs cooked in 1 tbsp. butter, 1 oz. cheese. That meal fills me for at least 5 hours before I'm hungry. And even then, my stomach isn't growling or anything.

What do your meals look like?

I've found sodium to be helpful. If you can fit it into your diet, miso soup or chicken broth are a great way to get that sodium boost. Also, caffeine if you are able, can be helpful. Water, water, water. And maybe some electrolytes.

Good luck. Is your diet doctor-assisted? I am sure he or she could give you some thoughts as well as to the headaches.

What gives you the headaches is the low carbs. The average body, it takes 50 grams of carbs a day just to have your brain tell your heart to beat, so when eating only 50 grams of carbs a day, you are going to have headaches. I had one yesterday and it is worse today. Ready to eat a slice of Dave's Killer Bread - 21 Whole Grains - 22 grams of carbs but I need it.
