Post exercise lethargy

[shaniac]

Hello everyone
I'm on my 5th week of induction but have been exercising for 3 weeks. I brisk walk and jog a bit on the treadmill for about 30-40 mins but soon after (like about 15 mins after im done i feel all zoned out, start yawning incessantly and fall asleep as soon as i get home. Ive tried staying awake but just can't and get very irritable. I've tried snacking as soon as im done with the workout even though im usually not hungry at that point, but that doesnt seem to help either. Im definately not eating too little either. Anyone know what this means?

Personally I would say that its just you getting used to your new way of eating. Keep battling though it, you should start to notice a difference soon.

Eventually you will / should get an amazing buzz after you have excercised. You will hopefully experience a major "raring" to go feeling in your legs that give you a fantastic feel of "get up and go".

Re: Post exercise lethargy

some folk do react that way to exercise and can actually use it to help them get to sleep.

It could also be you are still adjusting to Atkins and need to battle through it. Are you hydrated? dehydration can cause those same symptoms.
