Question about exercise
I just started exercising this week even though I was still losing without much of it. (just little things) But when I get back home, i feel horrible, drained, and get a headache. Just feel exhausted. I always thought exercise made you feel better? Is this just in the beginning till my body adjusts to being active...since being in such a state of inactivity...Just wondering if this is normal.
Thanks for any help, advice, or comments. |
You may want to try adding more carbs on the days you exercised. This happened to me too, and I was exasperated bcs. I exercised before this WOL, and only experienced this after starting Atkins. Someone on this Board suggesting adding more carbs..which helped alot. I tried to add them in the form of non-impact fiber carbs which also worked (although I'm not sure why). Hope that helps.

You may be overdoing the exercise. Take a day off and start a little slower. Then slowly increase the exercise amount each day. The headache could be due to dehydration. Drink more water during the exercise. |
I have just started really working out for the past couple of weeks myself. I have been feeling great! I have found on the days I work out if I eat the more "fatty" things it helps a great deal, that is when I feel like I can run forever. Side note:(I hate to run.) Yes, I do know the feeling though, some days I feel exhausted. When I think back though I realize those are the days I have really not had all that much to eat. Props to you for working out!!!! I have lost a lot of weight in just a couple of weeks from starting to go to the gym. So I think you have made a great decision. Keep it up, and maybe try eating more!
