You aren't taking in enough calories and your body is breaking down muscle to feed itself. If you have been working out try the p90x diet with the program - you probably need to be closer to 1800-2000 calories of the right food with a high cardio/strength per day. I was never tired and never hungry - actually had a hard time eating all the food. I lost 4" around my waist and 4" around my rib cage in 90 days - only about 10 pounds - but I started in the low 140's.0 -

CW - 132.5
GW - doesn't matter - I want to get to 20-22% body fat. Maybe 125?
I just finished p90x and am going from 60-90 minutes hard workout to 30-45 minutes a day - so I am going with 1300 at the zone plan 40/30/30 (carb/protein/fat). I was doing about 1700 calories a day with p90x.0 -
Day 3 level 2:
I did morning cardio which is 50 min of walking uphill downhill. Afternoon, when I attempted to get my 30DS done, I could not give my best today. Started feeling really dizzy after I was half way to the first circuit. Had literally lie down on my mat for 10 min or so. Got up and started where I left of. But could not do the workout as i do everyday. Felt light headed, so,I just listened to my body and tried to attempt each segment but could not finish it giving my best. No idea why I felt this way. Did not have a good night sleep last night.... Could this be for that??!!!???!!!
What are you eating? When you are pushing your body this hard you need good nutrition and make every calorie count. Are you eating enough protein - you should be consuming about 100-130 grams a day if you want to build muscle (which burns a TON of calories when you aren't working out). You need to cut out all refined sugars, alcohol, carbonated drinks, artificial sweeteners at least while you are trying to trim down. Cut down to like 1-2 servings of whole grain carbs a day. You need to eat like every 3-4 hours during the day and you will need a recovery snack/drink after a hard workout to keep your body from breaking down muscle with low blood sugar (dizzy is a classic example) - I get 1 cup of almond milk with one scoop of GNC Pro Performance 100% Whey Protein0 -

Just completed Insanity last month, started doing Jillian Michaels 30DS, but today I switched to her Ripped in 30. Will do this five times a week and her Extreme Shed and Shred once on the weekend. And can't forget the hikes with the dogs. I love running, but still snowing over here No running on the roads yet.0 -
Yes I guess you are right. I have to increase my food intake, specially protien. I take around 85/95 gm a day. I am just too scared to eat. I know it's as bad as overheating... But I have always struggled with my weight. This time I want to nail it.
Thanks for taking the time and replying0 -
