Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Some ideas, might be your body, detoxifying from meat, or allergies, or if your body is used to caffeine and you've reduced that or eliminated that too, it would cause headaches at first. Most meat contains a growth stimulant and appetite stimulant, given to animals in their feed and the elimination of meat may be causing temporary headaches as a result of not having it, but only at first. Also all the hormones that meat contains, is no longer in your diet and that is a change, which is a good thing, but also an adjustment for the body. But if your meat intake has been greatly reduced already, I think it is probably not related to this at all. Many people give up meat cold turkey and don't have any side effects at all. Here is a great article on the vegetarian diet that will give you lots of insight. http://www.freedomyou.com/nutrition_book/Modern%20Meat.htm Here's to great health, Judy - Eglaelin Friday, April 20, 2007 5:53 AM [sPAM] Greetings from Eglaelin Namaste, I have recently moved into a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet due to ethical reasons. My last meat dish was on Monday afternoon but I had steadily decreased my meat intake before that. Here is the only issue that I am having. I have had a steady headache in the frontal region of my head. Since the only changes in my life recently have been the change to a veggie diet and some more time in meditation I can only think it because of the decrease in meat products. Has anyone else ever had this difficulty and how long did it last? In Peace, Eglaelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to assume, as much as I dislike that word, this is a symptom of losing some of the contanimants that are placed in meat. Thanks for the replies.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I had a severe headache for about 2 weeks. After it went away, I was eating vegan and now I get the headache and general " malaise " if I eat dairy. It's not just the actual flesh that contains all the chemicals and hormones, milk and eggs do too. Yes, when I do eat them, they are organic but I stil feel awful when I do. You may want to try going vegan for a month and see how you do. Or, you may have a sensitivity to a new food you are eating? Stephanie Ahhh...imagining that irresistible " new car " smell?
