What is happening to me?!

I been depriving myself, for the past 2 weeks and got really used to it.

if you got used to it why u getting dizzy for

If you weigh 390 lbs, I am calling BS on you not being able to eat 2000 calories a day. Gimme a break......thats just 4 meals of 500 calories a meal. I can eat that much in one freaking swallow. Do some research...and eat a sammich while you are doing it.

Because this young person is trying to go to extremes with the `diet`

Support is a good thing ?

Hey countryboy,

I dont know what happened, When I started a diet I ate strickly chicken breast yogart, carrots, zuchini, and downsized my servings dramaticly... I got so used to it after two weeks and felt great until the last 3 days... I have been feeling so tired, dizzy and not so great. You are right! Before I could sit down to eat a whole footlong sub, a soup and a large soda... Now I cant even finnish a 6 inch subway sandwhich and even then I gag to try to keep the food down.

You can do anything you want to do!

It is so hard in the beginning cos you want to see results fast..but you have to be in it for the long haul. Most of us have been there and you have to take it slow and steady.

This sounds psychological to me. I think we sometimes fall into the trap where we feel it necessary to be punished for the sin of getting fat. Losing weight isn't about punishment and suffering for your past indiscretions. Punishment doesn't work long term. So forgive yourself and eat a reasonable amount of food. Living moderately will get you where you want to go. It's not flashy nor necessarily fast, but it is sustainable. Good luck to you.

If I needed to add calories to my meals, I would add green olives, avocado, nuts, and lots of fruit to what I'm already eating. Instead of just a chicken breast, smash up some avocado and smear it on top, then sprinkle feta over it. That's what I'd do. You can add olives and sundried tomatoes to your salads. Have a bowl of healthy cereal in the morning (I can't seem to find a cereal that has LOW calories, you should be good there.)

Shouldn't be too hard to make it up to 2000 calories if you choose the correct foods.

The reason for the dizziness is most likely that your blood glucose level is too low and you're getting close to blacking out. I eat five or six times per day, get in between 1200 and 1400 calories and I'm doing fine... Be careful about going too low on calories. Your brain needs the glucose to survive. Which means that you need it to survive...

When you take in far less calories that your body needs in order to sustain itself, it thinks its starving, so it enters starvation mode. While in starvation mode the body will basically store all of the fat it possibly can because it knows it'll need it to burn as energy. It'll only get just enough, if that, to continue its processes necessary for survival and that is all. You need to seriously get active. That's the only way you're going to get your body out of starvation mode. So get active and eat 1500 - 1800 calories per day. Reduce your carbs and sugars, increase your proteins. But the key here is to get moving. Trust me, I know this from personal experience.

I commend you for asking for help! There is some great advise in this post and I urge you to friend the people mentioned. They will guide you to make healthier choices for you are an incredible person! Good Luck and God Bless!

you need to eat your 2000 calorie intake along with some exercise. it may seem like the less the better, but thats not always the case you can seriously hurt yourself, when you start to loose weight your body is constantly changing and so will your calorie intake, but for 390lbs follow what MFP says, or go to a dietician (hope i spelled that right lol), for some help. You can do it though, everyone has to start somewhere!
