If you ' physically feel better' but get sick more often (I really doubt you 'never got sick previously'), did it occurr to you that it could just be a coincidence? You should ask your dietician or another doctor, not DCUM. You'd better make sure there's nothing else going on. I don't think 1300 cal is too low for you. How many carbs do you eat daily?

I agree on supplements. Take potassium and a multivitamin in the morning, omega3 at lunch, and a cal-mag a night. Magnesium really cures my insomnia. I have similar stats to you, and cut out breads, pasta and simple carbs last fall. I feel great.

Your body is telling you that low carb isn't good for you. Also, calories should be higher and you should increase your exercise.

Review your macros, you may need to reduce your carb intake a bit. If you are hovering around 40g net carbs, you are staying in constant transition and will cause a lot of the symptoms you mention.

From personal experience, insomnia is a sign your calories are too low. This may also weaken your immune system. Try and see if doubtable still lose, albeit a bits lower, on a couple hundred calories more a day.

I think you should modify the diet to include more carbs and calories for two-three weeks with as much long duration, low intensity exercise (nice hikes) as you have time for and see how you feel.

Eat more fruit, and less meat and cheese. Seriously... when will this idiotic low carb/keto cult of idiocy end?!

The stomach flu is probably not related and it's cold/flu season--people around office are dropping like flies. What are these infections? Are they related to the colds?
That aside, incorporate exercise. Yes, weight loss is 90% diet but there are many benefits of exercise.

I’m doing a low carb, 1300 calorie a day diet created by a Dietitian. Im short and not super active so the calorie count is about right for weight loss.
Im losing weight between .5-2lb a week consistently, closer to 1 lb. prior to this plan, I lost 10lb on weight watchers and plateaued for 6 months. On the new plan, I’ve lost 15 lbs in 90 days. I physically feel better - I can move easier, keep up with my kids etc. my skin looks better but:
I’m now struggling with insomnia
I’ve had 3 infections, 2 colds, and 1 stomach flu in 3 months
I never got sick previously. What should I be doing to adjust?
I am pretty happy with the weight loss. I am less than 10lbs to goal. (35lb total loss from obese to healthy BMI)
