I am on week 3 of my weight loss journey, eating low carb and in deficit, but around the 1600, which is correct for my calculated TDEE being on 1980kcal a day. I eat between 70 and 110gr of carbs.

But I feel so tired. I eat quality food, lots of veg, protein, avocados, no sugar, but I am lethargic and just drained, feeling like I am running on empty. It's not that I have issues with feelings of hunger, it's just the energy levels being really low. I do take electrolytes. Blood work is good, had it checked, so it is definitely diet related because before I started it this wasn't the case.

Is it just the transition from high carb to low carb still ongoing? How long did it take for your body to adjust? All advice and answers are welcome. Thank you!

I am on week 3 of my weight loss journey, really aiming to hold it for at least 20 weeks before even attempting to measure myself. I eat in deficit, but around the 1600, which is correct for my calculated TDEE being on 1980kcal a day.

In the experience of people eating in deficit and holding it longer, does it get better? Is it just the transition from high carb to low carb still ongoing? All advice and answers are welcome. Thank you!
