So tired and sluggish

  • Hello everyone!
    I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday. So I am on week 2 of IP, and it seems like yesterday, and today I have been dragging my butt. I am super tired and just feel heavy and sluggish. Just started the TOM two days ago so I am wondering if this could be the cause?
    Any suggestions?
    i have been 100% the whole time and from last Saturday till about Wednesday I was feeling so awesome, happy and energetic....now it's like it all switched off
  • ur energy will return! You may be having the side effects that we have all experienced with our bodies going through ketosis added to that you have TOM!
    The whole second week I felt lousy. I woke up the first day of week 3 and had so much energy I could not believe it. My body just had to flush out all of the bad stuff!
  • This happened to me in week 2 also. I was so tired. It is probably made worse for you by the time change. Good luck and hang in there, your energy will come back.
  • I felt like a$$ my 1st week on IP. H/A's, tired, CRANKY, nauseous........now I feel great!! I am thinking that maybe since our bodies aren't use to all this energy, maybe they need a time out to think, huh???
  • I'm on day 4 and had to have an early dinner because I thought I would faint. I went on a mellow little bike ride but I think my calories are so low the small amount of exertion did me in. A nice piece of fish and some veggies and im feeling a lot better. Not quite energetic but better. I keep thinking that maybe its a good sign. Our bodies are switching metabolically. Good Luck
  • Are you remembering all of your supplements? If I wait until the afternoon to have my multi and potassium I am a tired, cranky beast. And i start craving everything.

    Hang in there, it'll come back!
  • my coach has me on two potassiums a day, one for breakfast, one for lunch, since i am still quite tired and i am on week 8
  • Thanks for replying. I have been taking all my supplements, but today I woke up and started feeling better so hopefully it will continue!

    It is also my TOM and I am on my 5th week... For me it has been quite hard for the past few days since I have been extremely exhausted!! But on a positive note I am feeling much better today If you are anything like me it is probably due to your TOM...
  • I was so excited that my first week I had so much energy after a friend of mine had been on it and she was so tired her first week.... so I should be aware week 2 could be bad! lol
