Thyroid function may not be normal but "adrenal fatigue" is not real ... the actual (and rare) adrenal malfunction is called adrenal insuffiency. A simple google search will tell you this. Hint: if the web site is trying to sell you some supplements or linking to a website that sells supplements no matter how convincing it is that adrenal fatigue extsts ... endocronologists disagree.
It is possible that AAAmom may be suffering from hypothyroid or adrenal insufficiency but it is unlikely because the odds that she only has one of the symptoms (being tired) and the timing of the one symptom she is feeling happens to cooincide with being on week 4 of a very low carb and very low calorie diet.
I'm not saying that hormones don't matter but the reality is that in most people they make little difference.
Most of the time the simplest answer is usually the right one. AAAMom didn't say she was tired all the time and then started the IP diet and now is more tired. Lets use some logic here folks. Yes, thyroid function can go awry in a hurry, as can the function of ones adrenal function, but in this case it's not likely.
Seriously, just eat some carbs and see how you feel. Carbs do nothing to make you less tired - then go see an endo for a full workup.
