Why do every time I start to diet I get sick?

It doesn’t seem to matter that I take vitamins or the food I eat is healthy(salad, fruits, lean meat). Every single time I diet, I get sick with cold/flu like symptoms and it is not just in spring. This has happened every time I start to diet regardless of the season. I am counting calories and eliminating 500 calories from the ones needed to maintain my weight. I am plus sized so it’s not a matter of being underweight either. Can anyone tell me why do every time I start to diet I get sick?

I need a primary care doctor. Should I go to an Internal Medicine Clinic or a Women's Health Clinic?

Or is the Women’s Health Clinic mainly for reproductive (pregnancy, annual paps, STD checks, etc.) health issues and not for general care (cold, flu, sprained ankle, annual physical, etc.)?
