What Causes Metallic Taste And Fatigue While On Nutritarian Diet?

I recently began the nutritarian diet. I ve lost about 8 pounds in 14 days but am experiencing fatigue, excessive sweating, brain fog, and a metallic taste in my mouth. I exercise nearly every day (usually walking 4-6 miles, or elliptical with high resistance for 40 minutes). I was promised that I would feel healthy and energetic when flooding my body with all these nutrients coming from greens, nuts, seeds, onions mushrooms, beans, etc. I have eliminated nearly all dairy products. However, I have had some meat on the diet. My husband is also experiencing fatigue and the metallic taste in his mouth.

These diets usually cause one or other deficiency. If you are not taking Dairy product daily, it may be due to that. Take healthy diet for weight loss like balanced diet. Consult dietician regarding weight loss.
