    Lightheaded, etc

    I started the Keto in earnest about 12 days ago. Didnt feel any side effects such as dizzyness, lightheaded until about day 11 or so. I felt like absolute junk on Friday (lightheaded, headache, didnt feel like eating much) It coincided with my weekend carb-up so i was feeling better on Saturday after eating pizza and cereal and such. Now, I am having the ill feelings again. I have been eating a good amount (6 eggs, a couple of tablespoons ranch and mayo, celery, cheese. ) What am i not doing properly here? previously, eating my next meal would cure any effects i was experiencing, but not even a nice fat full meal is helping right now. Am i just transitioning? At this point i dont know how i am going to muster any energy in the gym tomorrow morning. Thanks for any input.

    By the way i am trying to clean bulk with Keto. I am 5'8 150 after losing a few pounds over the course of the two weeks.

    if you are tracking your macros and are maintaining a ratio range of around 65%-70% fat with the rest in protein and trace amount of carbs then i dont think it could be the diet.

    one thing it may be is not drinking enough water. i know whenever i feel dehydrated on this diet i get a little light headed but has not happened since (im at 1.5-2.5gals a day) and this diet does tend to make me a lot more thirsty. \

    if you dont take a multi vitamin then definitely start. this may also help your situation.

    also keep rough sex to a minimum. i know when she has my head banging against the wall it tends to make for an ugly morning lol.

    if i can think of anything else i'll post it, i hope this helped. good luck man

    I was gonna point at a possible too low calorie deficit. But Brian hit it on the head.

    Ditto, make sure your calories are not too low and keep yourself hydrated.
