Fatigue/dizziness/lightheaded

I'm one week out and extremely dizzy when standing or walking. I can't do much because of the lightheadedness. It was so bad I fell night before last. I think this my body trying to adjust to fewer calories, but afraid it could be an electrolyte imbalance. Any thoughts or ideas?

    I mixed grape juice and water 50/50 for the first few weeks. Helped me out.
