Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Severe carb limits can cause your body to break down fat into ketones for energy. This is called ketosis. Ketosis can cause side effects such as bad breath, headache, fatigue and weakness.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to MayoClinic.com, drastically cutting your carbohydrate intake can cause dizziness. Low-carb diets can also make you feel tired, weak, constipated or have headaches.

Detailed explanation-3: -Can a low carb diet give you a headache? Yes, headaches are common side effects of low-carb diets like the keto diet and are often caused by electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, or low blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you start the diet, your body begins relying on ketone bodies instead of glucose, which can cause your blood sugar levels to drop. In turn, this may lead to low blood sugar. This transition into ketosis may stress your brain, which could result in mental fatigue, or brain fog, as well as headaches ( 2, 3 ).
