Question

I restarted IP yesterday after taking time off in the fall for a major surgery, and then fell off the wagon hard - I’ve gained back about 25 of the 55 lbs I lost. I don’t remember being this tired before. like I could fall asleep at my desk tired! Any suggestions to make this better?  

Answer 1

Just get thru the first three days. you can do it!

Oh I will! The program was amazing the first time so that’s a huge motivator. I just want a nap allllll day lol

@nogging yep. Water, short brisk walk, and honestly go to bed early if you can.

No problem going to bed early!  

Answer 2

Are you taking all of your vitamins ? Drinking your water ? Using the IP Salt ? Are you on any medications ? (That May be affected by IP - this is something you can discuss with your coach)  Use an extra pack for days 1-4 when needed Can you get the BCAA’s ? They help a lot as well ❤️

Comments

Yup, doing everything I’m suppose to, not on any meds. I LOOOOVE the BCAA’s, it’s like a treat I think!

@nogging any added stress ? Life circumstances different than when you last did it ?

Oh yes, a lot since last time. New job (also started yesterday), son is homeschooling, husband isn’t working because of the pandemic. Same stuff the majority of people are going through

Answer 3

Someone has the Keto flu. try a teeny bit of salt on your tongue. :)

Answer 4

Remember we have the Covid-19 situation. That actual creates tiredness for some. Our brains are trying to process our new reality so some of it could be that.
