If a food is not listed above, it’s okay to eat.

During this month, keep another headache diary and compare the diary when you eliminated possible trigger foods to the diary when you ate your regular diet. If your headaches are better on the restricted diet, slowly add your favorite foods back into your diet, one food at a time. Notice whether you get a migraine within twelve hours of eating that food. If you do, continue to avoid that food. If you don’t, you can resume eating that food.

Eat and Sleep on a Regular Schedule

Avoid skipping meals or fasting. Missing breakfast or lunch is not an effective diet strategy and is likely to make migraines worse. Ideally, you should eat about six times daily, having healthy snacks between meals. Following a structured diet often helps reduce migraines, probably because diets require regularly scheduled meals and snacks.

Try to maintain a consistent sleep pattern, going to bed and rising at similar times every day. If you like to sleep in on the weekends and you get weekend headaches, wake up at your usual (weekday) time. Get up, go to the bathroom, and have a light snack, such as juice and crackers. You can then return to bed. When you get up and have a light snack, your body is able to maintain its regular schedule while you still feel like you’re sleeping in.
