Hey I need some input...thanks in advance!
I've always been a bit chubby and I've had a really hard time putting on lean mass or getting much stronger...so I decided to take a little break from trying to grow and getting my body to the leanest it's ever been
For the past 4.5 weeks I've been on basically the diet shown below with very little deviation
Meal 1: 1 serving protein, 1 serving milk, 1 egg, 3 egg white w/ 1 serving milk
Meal 2: Low carb protein smoothie (40ish g pro, 5g net carb)
Meal 3: 2 servings chicken, 1/2 can veges
Meal 4: 2 servings protein, 1 serving milk
Meal 5: Lean beef/pork/chicken, 1/2 can veges or plain salad
Meal 6: 2 servings protein w/ water
Meal 7: 2% milkfat cottage cheese
Fish oil + multi-vitamins + 5g glutamine a day
For the past week I've felt kind of exhausted and I haven't been able to get as much sleep as I need so I supplement 400mg of caffeine once a day
I lift 5 days a week, and do cardio (45 minutes) 3-4x a week.
I went off Creatine at the beginning of the cutting stage and lost 5 lbs in the first week (I assume most was water)...since then I've lost another 6lbs. I'm not as lean as I wanna be, I expect another 3-4 weeks of dieting to get there, but I don't know if I can make it! I can't put as much effort into my workouts because I feel like I'm going to throw up and I keep getting a lot of head spins. What should I do? (Oh yeah, my bp used to be 110/85 and now it's 85/50) ...should I drop the diet for a few days? Add a complex carb? Help!
Thank you!!

Edit: On a side note, I'm not looking for an outlet to the diet. If this isn't detrimental to my health and it's just my bodies response, or as my roommate would put it "My tampon fell out"...then I'll work through it.
