I've tried losing weight a few times, and every time I do, I drop ~15lbs and then become absolutely exhausted. Not like a sleepy sort of tiredness but like a whole body exhaustion.
I'll feel sleepy throughout the day, dizzy, or like my limbs aren't really there (like a loss of fine motor control). I don't know how much sense I'm really making but imagine like your limbs feel both heavy and light at the same time so you'll overshoot things you're reaching for or drop things accidentally.
(Weight loss has been ~16lbs so far this time so it's basically right on track).
Thanks guys.

What is it that you need??
Adam Edwards
What's your diet looking like?

We need to know what exercises you've been doing if any, if you are cutting and how much.

Any suggestions as to what would be causing this, if anyone else has experienced this, or if this is preventable. It happens every time I try and lose weight and is really getting in the way of me getting to the weight I want.
Typically I'll have, ~250g chicken ~1 cup yoghurt ~1 cup fruits (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) ~1 potato ~1 Protein Bar And then just depending on what sort of money I have maybe a burger or a hot dog (something cheap from the gas station).

I try and keep it under 1300 a day.
Honestly not working out much, I do cardio at the beginning (stationary bike, elliptical), but after a bit (a few weeks of weight loss) this tiredness sets in and I'm too tired/lethargic.

Also I started taking a probiotic, but that's only within the last month and this has been happening before that.

sleep more.
John Perry
I's not a "sleepy" tiredness. Also I sleep plenty already.
Joseph Sanchez
Cut the rest of the carbs and up the cardio a little, the extra movement and no carbs will help restore energy
Dominic Morales
this is deliberate trolling
eat more carb dense but low cal foods
Hunter Myers
sounds like it could be malnutrition
also minimum 8hrs sleep m8
Jaxson Powell
Any suggestions?
Also the captcha was pics of waffles... it's a sign.
Jose Reyes
sweet potatoes, brown rice, oatmeal, bananas
no pasta / bread / tortillas. those are carb dense but also calorie dense.
Ryder Wilson
How do I lose the weight then?
It's calories in - calories out, so I cut calories and I feel awful. It's also not short-term junk food withdrawal since that would hit faster and it's been over a month now.
Tyler Hall
but that is in addition to things like chicken, tuna, eggs, and other natural sources of protein.

Clearly trying to derail your diet with large insulin spikes. You're getting tired from the insulin crash after your current carbs.
Jaxon Thomas
insulin spikes from sugar not carbs you dolt
Gavin Morris
I don't know, it's not just the "3pm grogginess", it's like a loss of fine motor control at times.

I don't have a sweet tooth anyway so I essentially eat no sweets/sugars that aren't present in food normally.
Henry Nelson
Oh you're right i have mixed up carbs and sugars... could you explain to me the difference?
Carson Rivera
Sugar is just a type of carbohydrate, same with fiber and starch.
