Anaemia is where you have fewer red blood cells than normal or you have an abnormally low amount of a substance called haemoglobin in each red blood cell. General symptoms of anaemia may include: extreme tiredness (fatigue)

lack of energy (lethargy)

breathlessness

feeling faint

headaches

pale skin

noticeable heartbeats (palpitations)

hearing sounds coming from inside the body, rather than from an outside source (tinnitus)

loss of appetite and weight loss

When to see a GP See a GP if you're experiencing symptoms of vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia. These conditions can often be diagnosed based on your symptoms and the results of a blood test. It's important for vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Although many of the symptoms improve with treatment, some problems caused by the condition can be irreversible if left untreated. The longer the condition goes untreated, the higher the chance of permanent damage.

Why am I eating 1,000 calories a day and not losing weight?

The diet doesn't have enough calories Eating too little — say, 1,000 calories a day — can prevent you from losing weight, too. "When you don't eat enough, your body is starving and it's not going to lose any extra weight" because it needs those energy stores to keep you alive, Fakhoury said.

Dieting to lose weight and keep it off is notoriously difficult, though it is possible. Common reasons you may not be losing weight on a diet or healthy eating plan include not adjusting how much eat as the pounds come off and miscalculating how much you're actually eating. Not getting enough sleep, having an underlying health condition, or having a body that's healthier at a higher weight can explain a weight-loss lull too.
