[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1414242, member: 94045"] To be honest, I think your calorie restriction is too low. With the exercise you are doing you need more energy (hence the fatigue). You will get this by increasing your calories from fats. You seem to be too intent on weight loss. If you low carb correctly, the weight should come off, but if you continue as you are you will mess up your metabolism, lose muscle, and the weight will never come off. The lower your carb consumption, the higher your fats must be. Like a see-saw. The Newcastle Diet (800 calories) was only for 8 weeks. No longer. Your latest dietitian wasn't completely wrong. She was only wrong in telling you to increase the calories by eating carbs. Ignore the carbs but increase the fats and fibre, and eat normal protein. She was also right that exercise doesn't help you lose weight. Only diet can do that. Exercise is good in many ways and to be encouraged, but it won't help with weight. [/QUOTE]
