Almost halfway there

It's been almost 2 months since I've started this and I've noticed a big improvement in my headaches.  Really the only ones I still have are when a storm is coming.  As Summer quickly approaches I anticipate improving even more.


Admittedly, there is rarely a day when I stick to the diet 100%.  I would guess I go 2-3 days a week completely "on the program" and 2-4 days avoiding 90% of the list.  Here's the list.  Do you think you could do this 100% for 4 months??

The foods I miss the most are cheese, onions, chocolate and diet coke. Also up there are yogurt and avocados.  Oh, and wine.  I really, really miss wine.  But not more than  headaches.  If I had to guess what the main improvements have been from I'd say that it's likely a big reduction in rebound headaches from caffeine and prescription migraine treatment meds.  I have a hunch that caffeine, nuts, chocolate, and wine are also all probably triggers but it's too soon too tell.
