[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2055054, member: 401801"] I think your diet may need re-thinking.... I have no calorie deficit, just eat keto (20 grams of carbs or less per day), and I lost 25 kilo's that way. You still need energy, and if it's not coming from carbs, it has to come from somewhere. You're basically starving yourself, and who knows, your liver may be dumping glucose to compensate, but that's just a guess. Besides, with the spots and dizzyness, you could well be deficient in salt as well, and getting low bloodpressure. I'd make an appointment with your doc to get a [I]c-peptide [/I]and [I]GAD test[/I], bloodpressure and whatnot, just in case there's more going on. Because this isn't sustainable. Others here with more knowledge will chime in, I'm sure. But I think you really should, [I]for the moment at least[/I], not be deficit in calories. See how that goes. Just count carbs, that'll be enough. [/QUOTE]
