Day five question

[booklady]

HI, This time around I am very tired. I am not going off caffiene right now or anything like that, but I cannot get out of my own way. I have not had any cheats but have not been as good about the suppliments although I did take them last night.
It is just after six pm and I got decent sleep last night, but I have been trying to stay awake since I got up at eight this morning. It is a big struggle right now to keep my eyes open.
I had a three eggs omelet with bacon in it and cheddar on it for breakfast . I had some shredded pork loin from the crock pot and some green beans for lunch and no dinner yet.
I was not this tired the last four days, so it is very surpising to me to be so sleepy today.
Any suggestions ??
Thanks,
Stephie

Re: Day five question

Are you drinking enough water? If you aren't that can really make you exhausted since it needs it to flush the ketones out.

Hi Booklady
In his book, Dr A talks about fatigue during the 1st week of induction and says that "...most often this means that the process is going too fast for their particular metabolism...they're losing weight too fast, losing water and certain minerals too fast and their bodies can't keep up..."
He then says that drinking lots of water is essential.

You didn't mention veggie intake for today, other than green beans. Get your fibre in girl, or you're going to be all plugged up!

Good luck...hope you're feeling better soon.

Re: Day five question

I will work on all the above, good advice. My book is unfortunately in a box out in our barn shed, so I have no access to any of my low carb books, so that is frustrating.
I am feeling much better today, still a bit sleepy but better and the hunger has gone down a ton, so that is a good sign. I have been starving all week and wanting to eat constantly and finally today after my meals I am full and I only ate lunch because it was time, not because I was hungry. I am thrilled over that developement !!!
Thanks so much and I will up my water, make sure I take my vitamins and eat enough veggies !!!
