No.: No, fatigue, headaches, and body aches are not normal. Consider a diet that is about 40 to 60 percent carbohydrates to provide energy for your brain, muscles, and organs.

NO: Not an ideal diet program. I would suggest high protein. low carb, high fiber diet and get blood testing from your primary care physician.

Diet : The combination of high fat and protein may be contributing to your symptoms. Try off the diet for a few days and see if the symptoms disappear. Good Luck

No: You're much better off having one appointment with a dietitian at your local hospital. You will be told what your ideal weight is, how many daily calories you should take in depending upon your typical level of daily energy expenditure. Your eating habits will be critiqued and a sample daily diet plan will be offered. I don't recommend high fat, very high protein diet or any other fad diets.
