When we go on a diet, we feel the energy surging through us, we feel the determination to reach the victorious finale, we look forward to easy, dynamic weight loss. But the process of losing weight, alas, is different: the state of health worsens, a headache appears, vitality is lost. Is it victory over extra pounds without " side effects» impossible?
Losing weight is a difficult job that requires the body to concentrate all its forces. And it’s very disappointing when we give all our best at 100 percent, and our body protests for some reason. The head is spinning at the mere thought of the upcoming workout, the legs are filled with lead, not wanting to participate in the running run, and the arms are completely lowered. With a loud ringing of a bell, the thought creeps into the mind: “it’s better to be a cheerful, good-natured fat woman than an exhausted and angry thin one.” If all this is about you, then it's time to take action!
The main factor that affects our well-being while dieting is our mental attitude. Remember the famous saying “Whatever you call a ship, so it will sail”? This is just the case. It is difficult for every second losing weight woman to change her usual lifestyle, limit herself in food and lean on physical exercises. Without realizing it herself, she listens to the body, looking for alarming symptoms, under the pretext of which one can abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bweight loss. “I honestly tried to lose weight, but my health failed.” As a result, dreams of a thin waist and sexy buttocks fade into the background, and you begin to save kilograms again.
To prevent possible breakdowns, try to find out what provokes a decrease in vitality. Are the symptoms you are experiencing objective or contrived? If the diet is balanced and exercise stress moderate, they should not be a priori. Only extreme methods of weight loss, as well as allergic reactions to diet ingredients, can bring harm.
To maintain motivation at a decent level at all stages of losing weight, imagine what you will become when you reach the final, how your loved ones will be proud of you, and your friends will admire you. Losing hated grams, praise yourself for every step forward and every success. And you will succeed!
Let's look at what other factors can affect the well-being of losing weight.
Too low calorie intake
In an effort to quickly become a beautiful nymph with a harmonious chiseled figure, many women forget about the sense of proportion. They cut their usual diet to a minimum, when the amount of energy expended is significantly greater than the incoming one. Is it any wonder in this case that weakness haunts you?
Remember, the total caloric content of consumed gastronomic dishes should take into account the needs of the body (the number of calories needed to maintain the level of basal metabolism is calculated by the formula) and physical activity. At the same time, energy consumption should not exceed the intake by more than 200 kcal.
As for physical activity, if throughout the entire period of weight loss you are not tired and lethargic, and you are constantly struggling with hunger, then the load should be reconsidered.
Body intoxication
We have all heard about diets that remove toxins from the body. It seems that every balanced diet should be accompanied by the same effect, but this is only partly true. The thing is that before toxins and toxins leave our body, they enter the blood and lymph - this is a natural process. The more fat we lose, the higher the concentration of toxins will be in the liquid tissues of the body. Organs may not be able to cope with this attack of harmful substances, and as a result, you will feel all the "charms" of intoxication - drowsiness, muscle pain, irritability, headache.
To avoid this unenviable fate, drink plenty of clean water and eat foods rich in fiber (fresh fruits, grains). This will allow you to say goodbye to toxins as quickly as possible, which means regaining a healthy, blooming look. If these measures do not help, contact a nutritionist, he can prescribe specialized support.
Drop in blood glucose
Many dietary diets encourage those who are losing weight to eat fractionally, in small portions every four hours. This time period is due to the fact that this is how much time passes between the peaks of an increase in the level of insulin in the body. If you eat irregularly and the body does not receive carbohydrates in response to insulin, it is forced to use the sugar that is in the blood. Accordingly, the level of glucose drops sharply, which leads to high fatigue and a feeling of weakness.
Turn the tide for the better by focusing on complex carbohydrates at every meal. Such carbohydrates are found in lentils, beans, peas, beans, brown rice, parsnips, vegetables and fruits. By making them the basis of your meal, you will recharge your batteries and saturate the body with useful nutrients.
Be slim and healthy! Successful weight loss!
During weight loss, many people's mood deteriorates, they feel unwell, nausea and weakness. To avoid a breakdown, you need to know the reasons why weakness occurs when losing weight.
The liver is responsible for removing toxins. But due to bad environment, bad habits, malnutrition the amount of toxic and harmful substances increases many times over, and the liver can no longer cope. They do not have time to be excreted and are deposited in fatty tissues. Therefore, when losing weight, when lipid cells begin to break down, the ketones accumulated in them enter the bloodstream.
Respectively the faster the weight loss occurs, the more the body is poisoned. As a result, a person feels weakness, dizziness, nausea, bad mood, and sometimes apathy and depression.
When poisoning with ketone bodies, the nervous system is the first to suffer. Their effect on the neurons of the brain provokes headaches. Intoxication of the spinal ganglions is manifested in the deterioration of the functioning of the organs for which they are responsible.
To avoid all these unpleasant consequences, doctors recommend cleansing the body before and during the diet. Detox activities include:
- Taking drugs that absorb toxins in the intestines. These include Enterosgel. It is important to note that it absorbs only toxins and allergens, while it does not affect the beneficial microflora at all.
- To improve cleansing, it is necessary to additionally take vitamins and probiotics, salt-based preparations.
- The diet should be diversified with foods rich in fiber and vitamin B. The menu should include citrus fruits, broccoli, arugula, various greens, and vegetables.
The main rule of any diet is to expend more calories than you consume. It turns out that the body must experience a lack of energy, and it will take the missing part from body fat. But often the metabolism slows down, the body, due to a lack of nutrients, begins to save energy and slow down the metabolism. As a result, the effect of a plateau appears, that is, when, despite all efforts, the weight does not decrease.
The body constantly needs energy to maintain life. There are two sources - food and internal reserves of carbohydrates and fat. But the body resorts to the consumption of the latter last. Therefore, with a reduction in incoming food, it is easier for him to reduce energy consumption. With a lack of carbohydrates, the level of glucose in the blood falls, that is, hypoglycemia begins. It is manifested by lethargy, drowsiness, weakness and sometimes irritation.
Another cause of weakness during weight loss is a violation of the proportions of nutrients. The body directly extracts energy from carbohydrates, and uses fats for its accumulation. Therefore, it is more difficult to obtain it from lipid cells. So if the diet consists more of fats, not carbohydrates, then the body will store more and save energy.
The latter are the main source of nutrition for the brain. With a lack of carbohydrates, starvation begins: absent-mindedness, migraines, mood swings, depression, depression. Therefore, the body again has to save energy in order to provide it with the brain. This is usually observed with mono-diets and during drying.
The body needs a constant supply of various nutrients: amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Deficiency of any of the components provokes a slowdown in metabolism .
Of particular danger are diets without proteins or on buckwheat alone.. Despite the fact that it is rich in trace elements, it cannot provide a full range of nutrients. But here it is important to understand that the body is not limited to simply slowing down the metabolism. Immunity decreases, and the formation of blood cells worsens, appears. As a result, a person experiences weakness, dizziness, bad mood.
- The loss muscle mass . At fast diet, especially with severe nutrient restriction, the body begins to conserve energy. And most of all, it is the muscles that consume it. Therefore, it is easier for him to "eat" his own muscles. The reduction in volume may not be caused by a decrease in the amount of fat, but by muscle wasting. Accordingly, a person feels severe weakness after losing weight.
- Avitaminosis. During the diet, the intake of food, vitamins and useful substances. All this negatively affects the work of organs and systems.
- May develop due to dietary restrictions sleep disturbance. And its deficiency is also the cause of weakness after losing weight.
- Insufficient intake of carbohydrates to nourish the brain. This is the main source of energy. When the brain has not received enough nutrition for a long time, its activity begins to decline, absent-mindedness appears.
Symptoms of weakness during weight loss:
- Chills. The body is not able to provide sufficient heat exchange, even in the heat you want to wrap yourself up.
- Constant hunger.

During weight loss, many people's mood deteriorates, they feel unwell, nausea and weakness. Weight loss is a complex and long process that affects all systems. Precisely because of feeling unwell many quit the diet, feeling stressed, tired, as well as the futility of their efforts. To avoid a breakdown, you need to know the reasons why weakness occurs when losing weight.
Detoxification
During the breakdown of fats, all accumulated toxins enter the bloodstream. This is how severe poisoning of the body begins.
Ideally, the liver is responsible for detoxification. With the help of a set of enzymes, it processes them and removes them from the body. But in reality, things happen a little differently.
Due to bad ecology, bad habits, malnutrition, the amount of toxic and harmful substances increases many times over, and the liver can no longer cope. They do not have time to be excreted and are deposited in fatty tissues. Therefore, when losing weight, when lipid cells begin to break down, the ketones accumulated in them enter the bloodstream.
Respectively, the faster the weight loss occurs, the more the body is poisoned. As a result, a person feels weakness, dizziness, nausea, bad mood, and sometimes apathy and depression.

When poisoning with ketone bodies, the nervous system is the first to suffer. Their effect on the neurons of the brain provokes headaches. Intoxication of the spinal ganglions is manifested in the deterioration of the functioning of the organs for which they are responsible.
To avoid all these unpleasant consequences, doctors recommend cleansing the body before and during the diet. Detox activities include:
- Taking drugs that absorb toxins in the intestines. It applies to them. It is important to note that it absorbs only toxins and allergens, while it does not affect the beneficial microflora at all.
- To improve cleansing, you need to additionally take probiotics, salt-based preparations.
- The diet needs to be diversified with foods rich in vitamin B. The menu should contain different citrus fruits, arugula, various,.
lack of energy
The main rule of any diet is to expend more calories than you consume. It turns out that the body must experience a lack of energy, and it will take the missing part from body fat. But this strategy does not always work.
Metabolism often slows down, the body, due to a lack of nutrients, begins to save energy and slow down metabolism. As a result, the effect of a plateau appears, that is, when, despite all efforts, the weight does not decrease.
The body constantly needs energy to maintain life: breathing, heartbeat, muscle tone, thermoregulation, digestion. There are two sources: food and internal reserves of carbohydrates and fat. But the body resorts to the consumption of the latter last, saving it for a "rainy" day. Therefore, with a reduction in incoming food, it is easier for him to reduce energy consumption.
With a lack of carbohydrates, the level of glucose in the blood falls, that is, hypoglycemia begins. It is manifested by lethargy, drowsiness, weakness and sometimes irritation.
The person experiences malaise, dizziness and nausea, as well as chills. In some cases, it becomes difficult to move around and perform elementary, daily activities.
Nutritional imbalance
Another cause of weakness during weight loss is a violation of the proportions of nutrients.. The body receives the bulk of its energy from fats and. But he does it differently. The body directly extracts energy from carbohydrates, and uses fats for its accumulation. Therefore, it is more difficult to obtain it from lipid cells. So, if the diet consists more of fats and not carbohydrates, then the body will store more and save energy.
In addition, the latter are the main source of nutrition for the brain. With a lack of carbohydrates, starvation begins: distraction of attention, migraines, mood swings, depression, depression. Therefore, the body again has to save energy in order to provide it with the brain. This is usually observed with mono-diets and at a time when only proteins are supplied.
Plus, the body needs a constant supply of various nutrients. Among them:
Why severe lethargy appears after a sharp weight loss
But even when the diet ends, the person does not return to an energetic life. He is further pursued by a broken state and a breakdown. Weakness after a sharp weight loss is caused by a number of reasons:
- Loss of muscle mass. With a fast diet, especially with severe nutrient restriction, the body begins to conserve energy. And most of all, it is the muscles that consume it. Therefore, it is easier for him to "eat" his own muscles in order to save energy and leave fat for a "rainy day".
- So the reduction in volume may not be caused by a decrease in the amount of fat, but muscle wasting. Accordingly, a person feels weakness after losing weight, not being able to do simple things.
- Avitaminosis. During the diet, food intake is reduced, which means vitamins and nutrients. All this negatively affects the work of organs and systems.
- Due to dietary restrictions, sleep disturbance can develop. And its deficiency is also the cause of weakness after losing weight.
- Insufficient intake of carbohydrates to nourish the brain. This is the main source of energy. When the brain has not received enough nutrition for a long time, its activity begins to decline. Therefore, after a diet, many feel absent-mindedness.
Symptoms of Weakness During Weight Loss
Lack of energy is a dangerous condition for the body. The work of many organs and systems is disrupted. Getting them back to normal can be quite difficult. A plus a decline in strength threatens to slow down the metabolism and reduce the rate of loss of extra pounds. Therefore, it is important to recognize the symptoms of weakness when losing weight. These include:
- Chills. The body is not able to provide sufficient heat exchange. Even in the heat you want to wrap up.
- Dizziness and migraine due to lack of nutrition of the brain.
- Pain in the muscles, general weakness. Due to energy deficiency, muscle tone is greatly reduced.
- Fainting due to low blood pressure.
- Depressive states, apathy or irritation.
- Constant hunger. This is the first symptom of "distress" that the body sends when it lacks nutrition. But he will not be able to endure it for a long time, so he will begin to save energy.

How to return the state to normal
Weakness, dizziness, chills, decreased muscle tone and fainting are very dangerous for health and life. As a result, a person quits the diet without completing the matter. You can return your well-being to normal and get a positive result from losing weight as follows:
Often, when losing weight, weakness and malaise occur. You don't have to endure this condition. In order not to harm health and achieve a positive result in losing weight, it is necessary to take measures to restore normal well-being.
And for starters, let's figure it out, when did you feel such an unpleasant symptom as dizziness during a diet? If at the very beginning, then they tend to attribute such phenomena to the group of psychogenic ones. The diet has begun - if you please, touch the stress. If you feel dizzy on a diet that has been started for a long time, then your body gives a signal about a failure in its work and we need to find and fix it.
The diet has just begun, the body is not used to the changed diet and is under stress. In addition, during a dietary restriction, we still have to work hard, lose calories hard even when working in a white collar, not to mention heavy physical exertion. In addition, there are people around you who are unaware of your limitations. And they are all constantly chewing! And not only at work, but also at home. Only a stress-resistant organism can withstand such a thing.
The diet has just begun, oh, how dizzy!
Get ready for a similar development of events, and if the diet is dizzy at first, then:
Week later
And if you complain that your head hurts on a diet that started more than a week ago, it makes sense to consider the diet in detail:
Dizziness during a diet and the occurrence of headaches are typical for people who sharply limit any product in their diet. Most likely, this is not one, but a group of products. We are maximalists, if we exclude, then all at once. Be smart about change habitual diet. Nutritionists recommend not eliminating any product completely, leaving at least a small part of it in the diet. Don't eat white bread, great! Pinch off a piece of pink salmon when you buy it at the store for your pets. The body feels good, and the hormone of happiness serotonin will come to you, which, by the way, will help get rid of dizziness when losing weight.
- Sometimes, to complaints, they say, I'm on a diet, my head is spinning, a state of weakness is added. Check arterial pressure. Eliminating diets are now popular, and its absence leads to a decrease in blood pressure and weakness.
- A healthy lifestyle has not been canceled. Be outdoors, walk a couple of kilometers a day. Alternate computer work with - avoid headaches associated with osteochondrosis - a disease of computer geniuses of the 21st century.
Try to keep yourself
All people have different attitudes to their own successes and failures. If we talk about losing weight, then during weight loss (especially if the process is delayed), fatigue appears. The fact is that when we start to lose weight, we are in the waiting mode for the cherished numbers. And, of course, we want to speed up the process.
Waiting cannot last all the time and the more time we need, the more difficult it becomes psychologically:
self-doubt arises.
This usually happens when we:
- we don't give ourselves the right amount time to complete the task
- overly demanding of themselves.
One of the reasons for this behavior is fatigue from losing weight.
Fatigue during weight loss is quite common, even if the process is successful.
Trying to gain health and beauty, we understand that we need to work hard. If you find yourself convenient system losing extra pounds, not a mono diet or a diet with severe calorie restriction, but try to monitor nutrition and determine suitable physical activity, then for some time it is not very difficult for you to stick to the developed scheme.
But even in this case, if you are looking to lose weight, there comes a moment when you have to force yourself to comply with the points that have already become familiar. Errors in nutrition and laziness in doing exercises begin. As a result, the mood worsens, because you understand that you can negate all the results you have received. Besides proper nutrition, despite the possibilities of diversity, this stage is “boring”.
It is at this time that it is important to correctly assess the situation and try to understand yourself.
It is impossible to force a person to change once and for all, this does not happen instantly. If you caught yourself
- you find it difficult to perform the usual exercises,
- "already turns back" from useful products,
They didn’t “relaxed a lot”, didn’t “dissolve themselves”, didn’t become “the former fat and clumsy hippopotamus”, but simply tired.
This is important to understand.
Imagine that you are doing physical work that cannot be done in one fell swoop and you will have to work in several stages.
Tired of physical labor, you want to relax, gain strength and calmly complete what you started.
!This is not only natural, but also a necessary process!.
If at this point you are forced to continue, then everything will depend on the physical resources of a particular person. The stronger one will be able to work on the last spurt longer, but sooner or later the strength will run out so much that any person will simply fall down and be unable to do anything for a long time. The same thing will happen when you work not only physically. Especially if you are working on yourself, trying to improve something in your habits.
Many during this period imperceptibly begin to fight against themselves:
- exhaust themselves for a piece of "harmful" food in the gym,
- scold themselves for their weak will,
- falling into a panic
- then into depression Eventually, they get frustrated and give up.
Right now, when you notice that it has become difficult to lose weight, all you need is rest. What can be done for this:
- Many nutritionists advise sticking to the system when you allow yourself a "weekend" from losing weight. This makes it possible to more comfortably lose weight and get used to a new lifestyle. Any person can afford to eat what he likes, lie on the couch in his spare time. It is important to determine for yourself the frequency of these weekends and their duration. Once a week is a perfectly acceptable option, if you don’t want to rest, then you can skip it, but just don’t let it go through the force.
- Do not panic!
The main thing is to understand that the situation can be treated differently, which for one is a tragedy, for another it will simply be a deviation from the planned plan of action.
For a person who perceives fatigue as an unacceptable weakness and tries to fight himself to the last, it is very difficult to return to the previous routine, even if he previously achieved success, because he no longer believes in himself and does not hope to reach the finish line. He has so exhausted himself and “beaten with sticks” that he simply cannot continue. In this case, it remains only to come to terms with the conclusion: “I can’t lose weight, no matter what I do, I’m a weak-willed rag.”
If a person realized that he was tired and simply retreated for a short time from the established diet and exercise, then it would be easier for him to continue what was achieved earlier. Since nothing terrible happened, faith in one's strength did not disappear, so you can relax and move forward - Beyond the weekend it is also recommended to arrange periods when you are not losing weight, but simply keeping the weight off, moreover, even if there is an increase in a couple of kilograms, it will not be a nightmare.
The body will respond to your efforts more effectively and more easily “give up” the remaining fat after you rest and return to the weight loss plan. But to return, at least gradually, is necessary. After all, we are talking only about a period of rest, and not about constant inactivity.
The body will not need to "defend" from you, because you allowed to gain strength, and did not try to turn weight loss into an unbearable race.
If you haven’t taken days off for yourself before or very rarely, then the first allowed day off may be delayed - a person loves comfort, and relaxation in restrictions is always more comfortable than relentlessly following the rules. In this case, it is worth understanding that you already need a rest for a short period from several days to a month, when you will keep the weight or add about 2-3 kg (depending on your weight): - try to keep track of the calorie content and variety of food,
- do not eat only sweets or only fatty foods.
After returning to weight loss mode, try regular days off.
Necessarily
- listen to your feelings
- find your comfort zone
- learn what and how you react to:
to change the type of exercise or its quantity,
what is better for you “weekends” more often and “vacation” from losing weight less
or the first less often, the second longer.
Headache, fatigue, loss of strength - this is not a complete set of troubles that may lie in wait for you at the first stage of weight loss. But is it really impossible to defeat extra pounds without these “side effects”?
You probably expected that as soon as you embark on the path of correcting the figure, the whole world around will change. And of course, your well-being will also instantly improve: you will feel how you become lighter with every lost gram, how you are filled with strength and energy.
Alas, in reality, everything usually turns out differently: instead of gaining the cherished lightness, the body is filled with lead, the head begins to buzz, and the desire to do something disappears without a trace. You can hardly bring yourself to go for a walk or climb on a treadmill to burn a couple of dozen calories ... More recently, for the sake of slim figure you were ready to move mountains, and suddenly found that the initial enthusiasm had disappeared somewhere: it’s better to be full and vigorous than thin, but exhausted and unable to enjoy life, you think. As soon as such thoughts creep into my head, dreams of a thin waist somehow imperceptibly fade into the background. And the kilograms dropped during the period of enthusiasm are slowly returning back. Let's understand why this happens.
Psychological attitude
This is perhaps the main factor. In women who lose weight, an unconscious fear of change appears, a moral unwillingness to accept themselves as slim. It also affects the unwillingness to limit oneself in food, change eating habits and lifestyle. (We recommend additionally reading about, which is unhealthy). As a result of the wrong attitude, a losing weight person begins to constantly listen to her body, looking for alarming symptoms that could be a significant reason for going off the track: after all, no matter how hard she tried to defeat kilograms, her efforts only undermined her health ... Of course, there are times when losing weight causes harm: as a rule, extreme methods of weight loss are to blame. But if the nutrition is balanced, and not excessive, then the new lifestyle will not only make the figure slimmer, but also strengthen health.
What to do? First of all, you need to prepare yourself, to admit that it may not be such a simple task as it is portrayed in advertisements - they say, you took a pill or drank a magic composition - and the kilograms began to melt. It will be difficult, but this time must be endured, and when new nutrition and physical activity become a habit, you will not be able to do without them. Remember: when you were little and learned to read, you didn’t succeed either - the letters didn’t add up to words, you didn’t want to make any effort. And now you swallow article after article and book after book and do not complain that it is difficult and hard. Plan and imagine what and how will change in your life, what problems will go away, including health problems, when you become slim. And when losing grams, try to focus not on negative moments, but on positive ones, noting every positive change in your life.
Stress
Sometimes the organism also acts as a saboteur. In beauties with forms, who are used to consuming foods rich in fast carbohydrates, preservatives and flavor enhancers, the body can no longer imagine life without them, and it also hardly tolerates an increase in physical activity. Therefore, a sharp transition to a new diet and the rejection of the usual measured life leads to the fact that the body is trying to force its owner to return to its former existence. It slows down metabolic processes, reduces energy production. In part, he needs such a respite to understand what, in fact, is happening. Nutritionists and psychologists call this condition stress. The subconscious mind reacts to it with weakness, lethargy and sleep disturbances.
What to do? Diet-induced stress should be dealt with in the same way as normal stress. It is necessary, firstly, to provide the body with vitamins and minerals, the deficiency of which provokes the development of stress (with a decrease in the amount of nutrients supplied with food, their concentration in the body decreases, and some, such as chromium, begin to be more actively consumed at times of stress). Secondly, you need to find a way to relieve excess stress that suits you: it can be yoga, swimming, vocal classes in addition to fitness. Thirdly, a stressed body needs time to recover. That's why Special attention should be given healthy rest and sleep. If you feel that you cannot cope with the depression that has arisen on your own, seek help from a specialist.
Intoxication
It would seem that the diet should help get rid of excess, remove toxins. In fact, it happens differently: before the toxins collected under the skin (and the body stores toxic substances in the intercellular space of fat cells - adipocytes) are outside the body, they first enter the blood and lymph. The more weight is lost, the higher the concentration of toxins in body fluids. Organs that are not accustomed to such an attack of harmful substances may not be able to cope. It turns out that the body poisons itself. As a result, all the symptoms of intoxication are observed: headache, joint pain, irritability, drowsiness.
What to do? To reduce the concentration of toxic substances, they must be removed from the body as quickly as possible. That is why it is so important in the early stages of weight loss to drink a lot of plain water and eat enough foods rich in fiber. It is known that a general decrease in the volume of food leads to constipation. If the intestines are emptied irregularly, poisoning also occurs. Both water and fiber allow you to normalize the functioning of the excretory systems.
It happens that the internal organs are not able to cope with toxins. In this case, they need specialized support - but it must be prescribed by a doctor: some losing weight, for example, may need hepatoprotectors, others - drugs to support the functioning of the kidneys or pancreas.
Too low calorie intake
In an effort to quickly sculpt a dream figure, girls often cut their diet to a minimum.
As a result, the amount of energy consumed significantly exceeds the amount received. In response, the body tries to minimize energy costs as much as possible - hence weakness and lethargy.
What to do? The total calorie content of foods should take into account both the level of basal metabolism and physical activity. At the same time, energy consumption should not exceed energy value nutrition for more than 200 kcal per day, then you will feel great. Please note: physical activity should be daily, selected taking into account weight, fitness level, the presence of chronic diseases, the condition of the joints, etc. - only in this case it will not be a burden and will give a result.
If the feeling of weakness does not leave you after sports activities for a long time and your appetite increases significantly, then the load is too great. It should be reviewed, otherwise the body will try to compensate for fatigue by overeating.
pressure drop
It can also lead to weakness and weakness. During a diet, pressure often decreases due to the fact that, with a balanced diet, semi-finished products that contain a large amount of salt are excluded from the diet. And as you know, sodium retains fluid in the tissues, which leads to an increase in pressure.
What to do? Give your body time to adapt. If there is no improvement, review your diet. Perhaps you have reduced the energy value of the diet too much or even switched to a salt-free option. Of course, it is important to reduce the amount of salty and pickled dishes on the menu, but you should not completely exclude salt. Are you afraid of edema? Then use chopped salt as a salt substitute. sea kale or stop at sodium-reduced salt. In addition, you can use natural remedies to normalize pressure and increase tone: tinctures, teas with adaptogens.
Adaptogen drinks, such as Hydromel, help to cope with a breakdown, normalize blood pressure, and increase tone. To prepare it, add the juice of half a lemon and 1 tsp to a glass of water. honey. Drinking "Hydromel" in the morning, you not only increase your efficiency, but also set your body for lipolysis. Excellent immunomodulators are an infusion of wild rose, an infusion of young cones of pine needles with lemon. Infusions of eleutherococcus, golden root, ginseng are also considered excellent adaptogens. Compositions based on antlers (deer antlers) also help, green tea with ginger. But you should not abuse strong coffee and caffeine-based tonic drinks: they undermine the cardiovascular and nervous system which will affect your health over time.
Drop in blood sugar
May be caused by irregular meals. Rarely eaten - one of the most stable. No wonder they say that with weight loss you need to eat every 4 hours. This period of time appeared for a reason: so much time passes between the points of increasing insulin levels in the blood. If the body does not receive carbohydrates in response to insulin injection, it has to use the sugar in the blood. As a result, glucose levels drop sharply, and you feel tired and overwhelmed.
By the way, addiction to sweets is also formed because the body gets used to extracting glucose from simple carbohydrates. Therefore, when limiting sweets, internal systems must spend a lot of effort to get the amount of glucose that they used to get just like that. Naturally, people who have given up sugar may experience sensations similar to the “withdrawal” of drug addicts. But if you are a healthy person, and you can’t stand the test, you will never be able to force the body to extract the right substances from the right foods. Besides, jumps happen to those who sit on too low-calorie or mono-diets.
What to do? Eat regularly, eat some complex carbohydrates at every meal. The first meal is very important for maintaining the level of sugar: you need to start the morning with a glass of water, then have a full breakfast. In the morning, a spoonful of sugar and a sweet dish are also acceptable. So your glucose level will increase, and energy processes will not allow sugar to drop.
