my mom wants me to get bloodwork done for anemia? i have had the symptoms... tired during the day. i almost passed out this morning and i get headaches and get dizzy. when i almost passed out this morning i couldn't hear well out of my ears. i was anorexic... but now i'm on a new diet but I still have the thoughts though. i'm on a low carb diet right now though. doesn't meat have iron? how could i be anemic when i usually eat red meat everyday. it did start with my anorexia, because i didn't eat much iron i suppose. makes sense huh? lol. i've lost a lot of weight recently like 70 something pounds (on purpose). i weigh like 116 now and i want to weigh 105 but my mom keeps getting mad at me so i might go to 110. ttyl. any advice will help.

Any time you restrict food too much, you lose out on the necessary vitamins, minerals and iron. Your body will use up everything you have and then you will be running too low on everything. That means that you will be using up everything you eat. This is not good for you and will make you miserably tired and sick. You will probably need some help to get your iron back up. Also losing iron will make you crave stuff that is not good for you and will change your brain's function as well. You may need to see your doctor for an evaluation of your blood condition. I will not tell you to eat more or gain more weight, but you do need to make sure that you have all your nutrition so that you will feel good at the weight you want to be.
