Hi all! Long time reader, but first time poster here.
So I've been losing weight for a few months now. My BMI is still about 32, so quite high. But the progress is tremendous - as much as 5-9lbs per month.
I am working with a dietician that has set my caloric intake at 2000kcal per day. I was eating around 2500-3000kcal before and was sedentary at a BMI of 37. Now I exercise for 20 minutes, of which 10 minutes are cardio. Some days I exercise twice as much. Weight loss is not an issue for me.
I am super tired every day I eat under 2000kcal though. I can work, but I can just bear through it. I feel hungry and I find it very difficult to bring myself to exercise. Sometimes I feel a little lightheaded if I do (and once REALLY badly). It can be fixed immediately by eating a 500 or more kcal. Or with some caffeine, but then follows a big nasty crash. Although today for example I'm sipping caffeine every hour. Just easier to concentrate that way.
Some things that this is not: - blood sugar (tested), - blood pressure (tested), - electrolytes (Ca, Ca+, K, N, Mg), - food makeup (45% fat & protein calories, 55% carb calories), - calorie counts (not using apps, using diary straight off the box each time, also noting fat and carb grams), - organ function tests + cancer/hep/hiv markers (tested, parents are doctors, and I live in Europe, so I can afford to do them privately every year).
I'm kind of sure my "vitals" are good, but something is fricking up in my metabolic map. But I'm hoping this is an adaptation situation (?).
Thanks for making so far. So my question is... does anyone have an experience they could share? If you had fatigue losing weight, does it end?
