Why am I always so tired?  

Answer 1

My coach told me. my body is concentrating on burning fat & calories. all energy is going towards that. I’m good in morning- early afternoon. about 4pm. I get tired. Bed by 9. sometime I’m laying down at 8:00!

@idyll and your still tired? I was tired the first 5 days and than felt better. Anything different that could be causing additional stress or health issues?  

---

@honegger Nope. I work all day as a physical therapist. I get home. Eat dinner and am asleep by 8!  

---

@idyll I would ask your coach. I’m tired because I live in Buffalo, NY and we don’t see the sun all winter. Maybe get your thyroid checked.  

---

@honegger Funny, I live in Niagara Falls New York! No sunshine here either. And my thyroid is fine I just had a checked again

---

@idyll small world! Could be the weather! Lol. I get tired during the week because I don’t sleep well and work long days. I only felt the worst during my first week. I started in July and I’ve been in maintenance since end of November.

@honegger Congratulations! I still have 20 pounds to go.  

Answer 3

Have you done any lab work since starting? Maybe you are low in something?  

Answer 4

Good. I’m glad I’m not alone! I thought something was wrong with me!  

Answer 5

Anyone I have ever personally known on this diet has low energy and is tired all the time. (And also cold ) It makes sense because it is a low carb, low fat diet. Most of the time I’m just exhausted and moody Once you phase off you will get your energy back and in the meantime, a little extra sleep is good

@favored yes. I’m always cold too!

@favored I don’t think the coldness goes away. Thank goodness for heated electric throw blankets:)

---

@honegger Because we don't have as much fat to insulate us. :)

---

@shaving6089 and I’m not complaining!  

Answer 6

I am not cold or tired, feel better than I have in a long, long time. More energy, sleeping better too
