in Health and Weight Loss
Changed my diary so I will eat 2,000 kcal for a week or two. Then I have to upper it to about 2,200 and maybe 2,400. My body has become a total mess. No weight-loss and just tired, cold (like my fingers gets blue sometimes!! eew) and feeling depressed all the time. Then I will go back on track with a lower calorie goal again. But not a crazy one! Hope I wont gain too much these days..

Anyone who has experiences anything around this?

    What were you eating before you upped the calories? It sounds like you might have been eating way too low. I might go see a doctor if you aren't starting to feel better.

    I don't want to alarm you, but if you are experiencing blue fingers this can be a symptom of something serious...see a doctor NOW or ring a health professional, do not mess around. hopefully this is nothing but it is not worth the risk.

    Just type in cause of blue fingers into your search engine.

    Please seek medical attention immediately.

    Hi there,
    Your symptoms sound like you may need to speak to your doctor and get york bloods checked....could be as simple as anaemia, but I have lupus and raynauds ....which turned my peripheries blue, but I had a lot of pain withit!
    Don't want to alarm you, a simple blood test will hopefully help though.

    No, I don't have experience with blue fingers. It's not linked to depression. That doesn't sound super common, and I think it's worth heeding the advice of others here and seeking medical attention for it.

    I would go see a doctor. Those are not normal weight loss/lower calorie symptoms. Moody and tired yes but so cold that you have blue fingers. That sounds circulatory in nature. And I see from a lot of your responses we are all in agreement. You are trying to take care of you self so go take care of yourself! Be smart and go get professional advice from a doctor.

    I agree, have your doctor look for anemia and/or a circulation problem
