[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1709415, member: 345386"] If, prior to reducing your calories you had been eating quite a bit more, your fatigue could just be your body protesting at the change. Our bodies like to work to a routine - not just when we're going to eat, but to an extent what we're going to eat. For example, if we change our diet radically, it can take our body a few days to get used to producing the correct digestive enzymes in the correct quantities. If you want to read about that a bit more, you could try searching on "last meal effect". Shorter term, significantly reducing your calories isn't likely to do any lasting harm, and if you're losing weight, your body is likely to need fewer calories to run your reduced body mass. As [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] suggests, the odd higher calorie day would be the way I might go, if I feared going into starvation mode. The secret is not doing too many of those days, if you want to trim up a bit. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
