Protein won't inhibit your weight loss unless it puts you over on calories. If your dizzy due to hunger any food will help. Protein would be a reasonable choice. The dizziness is likely electrolytes so continue to address those.

Rode 30 miles and made 2 water bottles with potassium in them. Not used to riding this distance at this time of year but felt pretty good for the first 25 miles. Got a little fatigued after that and tested blood sugar when I got home and it was at 74. The only carbs I had prior to my ride all day were a table spoon of peanut butter and a handful of peanuts. Hoping that really dipped into my fat reserves.

Hi guys, I've been in ketosis over a month. Have lost 12lbs, and still have about 25lbs to lose.

I wanted to introduce exercise in my regime. As I started with my program (30 mins cardio + 20 mins weight training) today, I distinctly felt dizzy.

Just wanted to get some advice on best practices here. Definitely doubling up on my electrolytes.
Should I increase my protein intake? Will this inhibit my weight loss, etc?

Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks you!

if you just started any type of workout then it might be that. depending on what you eat and how it works with your body can also cause your body to keep working on using ketones and figuring out how to use them.

but i would guess it's the workout, take it simple and keep improving each week. If you get sore and start craving protein go ahead and feed your body some protein and a little bit of fat (can of tuna, chicken breast, ect) something unprocessed if possible or very little processing. But make sure your getting enough salts, potassium, calcium, magnesium, based foods like hass Avocados, spinach, mushrooms, kale (if it does good with you) salmon ect. good luck!
