I don't know is is the right sub and not exactly looking for medical advice, but I am noticing some real problems while trying to lose weight and I need to know if theres anyone else experiencing the same thing because my doctor doesn't know what I am talking about and blood work is not indicating disease.
I a 5'10 37 year old M at 279 lbs and have been overweight all my life. I used to drink heavily up until beginning of 2024 until I stopped. I've changed a lot of my eating habits and focus mostly on lean proteins, high fiber, and low carbs. I walk everyday too. Ive lost about 10 lbs so far. Its been slow but steady.
Sometimes I get a lightheaded feeling with dizziness and brain fog that comes up in the matter of just minutes and will persist sometimes hours or the rest of the day. I think its coincides with days Ive been particularly good with eating less, but its not exactly consistent or predictable. Eating something sometimes alleviates the feeling and sometimes it doesn't. I dont have diabetes and my blood sugar is under 100 usually. A1C is normal. I even had a glucose sensitivity test done and that was stable. I was told I dont have insulin resistance. My blood pressure is normal too. I suffer from gout and take medication for it. I am on a statin for cholesterol as well.
I was told I have a fatty liver at one point (ultrasound) so I am starting to wonder if theres something off with my metabolics and my conversion of fat into energy but I am having a hard time google searching my symptoms and finding something that makes sense.
Feel free to remove this if it is inappropriate but I thought I'd try some place where there might be someone of my size with the same intentions of weight loss.
