    you could be getting sick, but your calories are way low =-/ maybe up them a little and see how you feel?

    It certainly sounds like it to me. You need to eat much more than you are doing.

    You are not getting enough calories for sure, but I doubt that it's causing you to be sick. I'd still raise my calories to the designated amount and make sure that you are getting enough protein. I'd also make a doctors appointment. Fatigue and thirst can indicate lots of things such as diabetes etc. Best to you.

    Eat more. You can't be eating like a small girl. 1300 is waaaay too low. :)

    Eat more!

    From you photo I would think that even the 2000 is low. Check out this link to see how to find your BMR and your TDEE. You need to eat more than you BMR but less than your TDEE to loose safely. You can probably safely take a 25-30% cut from your TDEE but if you're currently only eating 1000-1300 you are at more like a 50% cut - way too much.

    I'm on a medically supervised weight loss program & am eating 800 cals/day. I also exercise on average 2 hours a day and haven't felt the way you describe. The main thing they seem to look out for in our program is dizziness. It might be worth speaking to your doctor about it since it might be something not related to your weight loss. Failing that, you could also try upping your calories for a week and see if you start feeling better. Hope you get to the bottom of it.

    Most probable yes! especially if you are exercising as well. I eat nearly all my allotted calories and I am on a lot too!
