Every time I lose weight, even small amounts, I get really sick until I eat a surplus of calories and gain most of it back. My symptoms are nausea, brain fog, lightheadedness, and weakness.
I don't have a very aggressive weight loss plan (.5 lb/week), and I have plenty of fat to lose, so I'm not depriving myself. I take vitamins, as I currently am suffering from parosmia so it's hard to get all the vitamins I need from food, but I have experienced this even when eating an extremely healthy diet. I also have PCOS, so that might be a contributing factor. I can lose 70lb before I'm in danger of being underweight, and my goal is to lose 40lb. I've experienced this my whole life, so it's nothing new, but I am at my heaviest after gaining about 40lb during the pandemic. I thought I'd at least be able to get to my pre-pandemic weight fairly easy by being more active, but I find I can't return to that baseline at all because of this.
Anyone experience this and have any ideas on how to combat the symptoms so I can push through it and continue to lose?
Edit: Adding a side query: does anyone know about toxins released during weight loss? I heard about it once and honestly don't understand the science, but I wonder if my fat cells have high toxins or something and maybe some kind of detox could help (although I've also heard that detoxes are useless so maybe not)
