Ok, so I've been going strong since Saturday, experienced my wonderful and sickening ketosis revelation on Tuesday, weighed in at the doctor's office 6lbs. lighter and forced myself to walk a few miles to hopefully counter the tired, achy feelings I've been experiencing since I started. It seemed to work initially--in fact, I was bouncing off the walls and sweating like crazy for hours after the little workout. However, today I'm right back to being sluggish. Does everyone go through this? By the time I get home from work the very last thing I have the energy to do is exercise and I keep reading that exercise is imperative, especially during the first two weeks.

In a few days time, you will more than likely literally climbing the walls with excess energy. It does take some getting used to but it happens.

Re: DAY 5: Unending fatigue...
Wow, thanks for the quick supportive responses.
Try this on for size, too: I also feel a slight disconnect with reality. Head in the clouds type of thing. Is this also common and will I return to the planet any time soon?

Re: DAY 5: Unending fatigue...
What is on your menu? The "induction flu", as such symptoms as those you are having may be called, will pass. It will most likely be less severe or shorter in duration if you are making sure not to get dehydrated. This can happen easily during induction, as your bodd suddenly starts flushing out your system. You need supplements, lots of water & a good source of minerals/electrolytes. Extra rest won't hurt, either, after your workouts.

Re: DAY 5: Unending fatigue...
Thanks for posting this...I'm on day 4 and I am EXHAUSTED. I work out with a personal trainer twice a week, plus another day of strength training, plus 3-5 days a week of cardio, and had a crappy workout on Tuesday with the trainer and felt like I was going to be sick today, which is very very unusual. I work out regularly and am pretty strong and fit despite being overweight and I hate feeling this way!!!!!!
But, that being said, TOM snuck up on me this morning a little early, and I had no clue it was coming because I wasn't bloated at ALL
!!
I wanna take a nap now...zzzzzzzzz
hehehe
