I am eating the sheet. I am 61 lbs down. The past couple if weeks I am always cold and every afternoon, I am sleepy and taking a 1-2 hour nap. Any ideas of what is wrong? I am almost 11 months into the program. Thanks!

Any medication that may need to be adjusted? I became very weak and discovered I needed to come off my blood pressure medication. Try adding IP water enhancers to your water. They balance your electrolytes and give you energy.

@pretty78226 Thank you @pretty78226, but my blood pressure is good. I am on BP meds

@blesbok Then I would say your electrolytes are out of balance. Try the IP water enhancers.

@pretty78226 Will do. I also take a statin to lower my cholestral. Wondering about that too.

@blesbok just a thought, but perhaps with your successful weight loss, you might need to adjust your BP meds. Maybe see if your doctor thinks lowering the dosage might help.

Add salt and see if that helps. I did that afternoon sleeping for a month or two.
