Question

New question:does anyone else have a lack of energy? Is it something that tends to happen a certain time into the diet or likely from a different cause?  

Answer 1

I’ve been on IPA before with a surge of energy, but this time on IPA I’m struggling for energy to get through the day. I truly don’t think it’s a medical condition because I have no other symptoms. So I’ve assumed it’s how the diet is affecting me at this time.  

Answer 2

Agreed! It could be because we are only taking in @1/2 the daily recommended calories . There are days I don’t get over a thousand .  

Answer 3

Could it also be the time of year? It is winter and less vitamin d along with less time spent outdoors really effects me.  

Answer 4

Its also natural to feel tired because we are eating little caloires

Answer 5

I suffered from zero energy. It was a blessing that no working out was a requirement because there was no way o would have been able to. I’m working on maintenance now and the energy has stared to return.  

Answer 6

My energy tanked and didn't come back until phase 2. Still worth it!  

Answer 7

I've had to add some vitamin Bs this time around. But I also go through spurts every few months where I am completely drained. I was like this last week, but I'm getting past it now. I'm also close to goal as well, so it makes it a little more intense.  

Answer 8

I had a couple weeks early on where I was mentally sluggish, kinda punchy, but up until recently have has very consistent energy. Lately i have been tired and have been losing a lot of hair. Went to MD to have it checked today.
