How to adjust to a calorie deficit
I have recently gotten into a calorie deficit, the biggest struggle so far hasn’t even been not eating, it’s been the side effects that come with it. My head is constantly hurting, and often turns into a painful migraine. And eating painkillers resolves it temporarily. I also have dry mouth no matter how much water I drink, and constant bad breath. I feel I should mention that I’ve always suffered from migraines, some don’t go away even after eating. But the deficit is definitely not helping.
Also, how do you adjust to the social aspect of things. So much of socializing surrounds eating food that probably doesn’t work for a calorie deficit. Last night I ended up caving while out with friends and eating fast food with them, but don’t want that to happen every-time. In my defence I hadn’t eaten for a bit.
What can I do to rectify these things? I’m thinking simple solutions to make it easier. It’s hard to keep going when I feel my body rejecting something I know is good for me.
