    Dizzy

    Question, for about the last month, every time I do something outside, I start getting dizzy and feel like I am going to black out. I drink 8 to 10 glasses of water everyday. Does anyone know why I may be feeling this way?

    Thanks, Susan

    I'll take a stab at it since no one has answered you yet. You may need to have more frequent meals if you are only have 3....you might want to break them up to 4 or 5 to help stabilize your blood sugars.

      ARe you eating enough calories? Are you taking those multivitamins? Are you eating a variety of foods.

      And you might want to see your physician too because dizziness can be a sign of non-diet related problems.

        I have this happen if I don't eat enough or often enough, just like Elsie and
        Megs said. If this isn't the case, then I would definately see a doctor.

            it could be a lot of things. Since it only happens outside are you sweating and losing electrolytes? that could cause your blood pressure to drop and loss of blood in the head produces those symptoms. It could be totally unrealated to your Atkins eating but since it has been going on for a month you should check with your doctor.
