This happened to me when I tried the 1200 calories diet and didn't eat back exercise (I was clueless about the net calories thing). I did this for 20 days and literally ended up at the hospital from dizziness and vertigo. They had to put me on three different medications including valium to stop it. I really screwed up my inner ear balance. You are NOT eating enough. It doesn't matter that you think you are not hungry. EAT SOMETHING and net your proper calorie amount.0

I just looked at your diary and you're not eating enough,you need to NET a minimum of 1200 calories. Eat back those exercise calories hun!
Make an appointment with your doctor just to be safe and get checked out.
Actually, no you don't. I had this conversation with my dietitian. In order for me to have a "net" 1200 calories yesterday, I would have had to eat over 3,000 calories.
If you start losing weight too rapidly, then you need to adjust your calorie intake higher. If you're staying around 1-2 lbs a week, then you are fine.
Thanks for the feedback! It took me about 6 weeks to lose my last ten pounds so I don't think I am losing too fast.
You're welcome

You're not eating enough, not drinking enough...and are taking phentermine (Adipex) and another diet pill called Xyngular. I would go right to the urgent care, you might need IV fluids and you might be having a severe reaction to one or both of these drugs.
I am no longer taking Adipex. My doctor prescribed that to me when I went to him concerned with my weight. I took it for almost 2 months and did not continue after that. As for the Xyngular, it is an all natural product that I have been taking for over a month & it includes not only a pill but shakes as well. I honestly don't feel like that could be the problem.
However, I know I don't drink enough water & I need to be working on that. As far as eating enough, that is a toughy! The more I exercise the more calories MFP tells me to eat, but at the same time.. when I exercise, it seems to make me not hungry at all. I actually have to remind myself to eat throughout the day. It could also be the shakes making me full, seeing as that is what they are intended to do. Yesterday I replaced two meals with them, maybe I should stick with one.
The Xyngular may be "natural" but has Green tea and other diuretics to suppress your appetite and increase water loss. If you're not eating enough calories (add more calorie dense foods or fats if you're not hungry) and not drinking enough water then of course you'll feel terrible.0 -

Cyanide is a natural product, too.0 -
Hmmm you might need to eat more and drink a lot more water. For me I hated water so it was really hard to start drinking it., but I started drinking it with every meal and it helped me not only eat less but feel better. I used to get really dizzy and get the shakes a lot if I wasn't eating every few hours, that's really cut down since I've been drinking a lot more water. I would try that, but if it gets worse or doesn't go away in a few days I'd see a doctor. Either way, I hope you feel better.0

Sounds Like Pregnancy to Me.
I have been there & done that twice. I would hope that I know what pregnancy symptoms feel like by now. Furthermore, that is no longer possible for me, but thanks for the suggestion.0 -
Take your temperature and see if you have a fever to rule out the flu. Drink a big glass of water right now and have a rest day. Eat something really healthy, at least 300 calories worth and see if that makes you feel better. Then proceed to eat 3 more healthy meals today. Hope you feel better!0

Sweatheart - you really need to eat more food during the day. And please see a doctor. I really believe you do not need the diet pills. Get rid. But please speak to your doctor.
Listen - You have two beautiful children. You don't need the diet pills and you must eat more. They will pick up fussy eating habits or not eat much themselves, if they see mum doing the same.
I'm 4ft 11" and my calorie goal is set to 1,820 per day - although I am here to gain. I can eat that much easily throughout the day - most is actually after 12 noon.
Good luck btw, and I hope you feel better soon. Your kids need their mum healthy and well.
Sorry if I come across condiscending - I don't mean to - As a mum myself, I'm concerned for you.0 -

Thank you, I am quite clueless when it comes to eating more calories because you exercise. To be honest, MFP was the first place I had ever heard anything about it.0 -

This!!! You definitely need to eat more food....And go to the doctor as well!! Good luck!0 -
You might want to go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.0

That was advice. Just because something is "all natural" doesn't mean it's safe to ingest.0 -

AGREE .... Ephedra and Ma Huang and all that stuff was "natural" too ... and caused many people to have strokes!
Side effects from diet pills can include: HBP, headache, back and ab pain, abdominal pain, heart palpitations, constipation, nausea, anorexia, insomnia, dizziness, anxiety, depression and so on....0 -

Not condescending at all, I appreciate all of the feedback that I have received. So thank you, I am going to attempt at eating more.... As for the Xyngular, I think it is here to stay.0 -

Morgan - really wish the "experts" could pop into this thread for you, as I'm not good at explaining things.
Basically, eat up to your calorie goal PLUS any calories you have burned through exercise. Drink more fluids. Eat little and often. You don't need all the natural diet pill stuff. There's enough natural vitamins minerals etc in food without pills to help you lose.
It c ould be a bug / virus going around, but definately eat more.0 -
Eat 2 tbs of peanut butter, take a pregnancy test, Down a bottle of Gatoraide, Eat another 2 tbs of peanut butter, have a cheese burger, Have a bottle of water, Go for a walk, don't do any other exercise than walking for a couple of days.
You need more fat. We are women. We have women's bodies. We need to consume healthy fats from oils and nuts. And my God woman, hydrate!0 -
Goodmorning! I believe the reason your feeling dizzy is because your not eating enough calories. You ARE working out which is awesome! But you do need to replenish your body with some calories. I'm 5'4 and WITH exercise I know I need atleast 1500 to feel good and strong
I have a passion for clean eating so I could give you some good snack ideas to fill in some of those missing calories. You should have atleast 1200 calories if not more if your ACTIVELY exercising, don't be afraid to boost those up a bit, I know youll feel better! Ps. Protein is important too a balance. Hope this helps some, good luck to you!
I want to try working on clean eating too! Tips would be helpful I eat plenty throughout the day (around 1800 cals) but usually I don't get my lunch cals from the right kind of foods 0 -
Starvation diets are unhealthy.
Follow MFP recommendations, or you'll suffer some serious consequences at some point.
Maybe you've heard this before? I suspect so.
Good luck:flowerforyou:
I have only been on MFP for 3 days but I would like to point out that I have been eating this way for months. I agree that starvation diets are unhealthy.. good thing that's not what I'm doing

oops wrong day, but still I think you need more food or just to see a doctor and find out what's wrong,0 -

There is a list of ingredients on there website at www.xyngular.com. You can take a look there if you would like, I have & I feel comfortable with the products I am taking. My only side effects from Xyngular have been increased energy & suppressed appetite.0 -
Your body wants to use whole, nutritious foods as fuel to keep moving, but instead, you are depriving it of that while at the same time taking energy pills to keep yourself functioning on very little. You need to eat more real food! This is undoubtedly why you are feeling weak, and your stomach is probably not agreeing with the energy pills which is why you're feeling nauseated.0

Again, I have been using Xyngular for a while now. & have not experienced nausea or dizziness since I have been using it. & I do eat real food.. but thank you for your input 0 -
I agree that you are eating way to little and drinking way to little water!!!0

You are young and your body is strong... it could just be catching up to you! Were you exercising at the rate you are now during the whole time of taking this pill?0 -
is pregnancy a possibility?
but most likely it's because you are not eating enough. You only had 745 calories yesterday. That would make anyone dizzy.
Everyone's different but hell I eat less than that everyday and I'm fine. I would say it's something else.0 -
be sure to eat right and drink at list 8 cups of water don't over due and give your body rest between exercise, if you're body act this way it sign you to slow down and relax too,i hope you'll feel better soon.0

I love how the advice given to people trying to lose weight is always "eat more". How about some real advice?
Yes, in order to avoid long term or even permanent damage to your metabolism, you should eat above 1200 calories a day. That's the standard.
That doesn't mean, however, that a 1200 calorie daily intake is unhealthy. The calorie intake goals set by MFP are based on a person's body, goals and lifestyle. But it's still a website, and doesn't necessarily ask questions that a doctor or dietitian would.
There are no dietitians or doctors in these forums. And if one slips in, believe me they aren't going to say that's what they are for fear of lawsuits.
If you want real advice about how to eat, call your local hospital and see if their dietitians have an outpatient program. Summa does, it's called "Just This" Dietitians here. I'm not sure about Alabama. It's cheap, and worth every single penny.
I hope you feel better soon!0 -

I'm not saying you don't eat real food, I'm just saying you need more of it! A few years ago, I was taking pills all the time and not eating as much food and I messed my stomach up pretty good. I didn't want to believe it was the pills that had done it to me because I'd been taking them for so long, but that's just what happens. It got so bad, I literally couldn't drink water without terrible pain in my stomach. All I'm saying is, be careful or you could learn the hard way as I did.0
