Caloric deficit has exhausted me, does it cause fatigue?

yeah, it does happen. I had it too. For about 2 days, my head was all weird, then I realized that nothing I ate was balanced. For example, zero protein. Maybe check if you're the same? 😬

Are you skipping breakfast completely, or just eating very little? The dizziness sounded to me like it could be straight-up from not eating enough.

@uykuarasi I had completely stopped eating breakfast and was only drinking coffee. Maybe that’s where the mistake is—should I start having breakfast again?

@makarnaoncesi why do you immediately say protein? Weakness might not necessarily come from that. Maybe there's a vitamin deficiency. Or perhaps you're creating a calorie deficit too quickly.

These types of symptoms could be part of the adaptation process or a serious deficiency. But if you have dizziness, I recommend seeing an internist. It could be due to blood pressure, vitamins, or blood sugar — it can be anything. Don't rely on internet answers for these.

They said you would get used to it, but I think you are pushing it a bit too much 😬

When you present the topic in such a dramatic way, people are talking about adaptation and all that, but honestly, it feels like you’re writing about something risky. Is feeling exhausted all day normal for weeks on end? 😳

Drinking coffee completely on an empty stomach in the morning has very negative effects. If you're skipping breakfast, at least have something to snack on, it could be yogurt or fruit. Dizziness is serious, don't let it continue.
