What Could Be The Reason For Having Dizziness After Following The Atkins Diet?

Hi. I am 31 and I recently began the Atkins diet. I have never had any health issues. I was a size 4 and I weighed 133. I m 5 1. So... I wasn t horribly over weight. Anyway, I thought it would be a good lifestyle change and help me lose the extra pounds. I m on day 9. At least once a day when I stand up I get extremely dizzy. I was wondering what the cause of that was. I read about the Atkins flu. I get it. How long should this last? Also, I am extremely oily and feel dirty. Lastly, I feel a little unoriented. I don t want to stop now. I am weighing in at 124. I d like to be 115. Thanks.

Hello & Welcome to HCM,
I had gone through the case and i found that your dizziness might be due to hypoglycemia, for conformation you must check your sugar level at the time of dizziness.Some time drastic weight loss is not good for long term health. If possible for you then you must go for healthy and gradual weight loss therapy,it will help you to feel light and energetic.Hope my answer will be effective for you.
