should I be this tired?
I just got back from costco, had to replace my printer, sure it is heavy, but I feel lightheaded, out of breath, worn out! This not the norm for me, am on day 4, up to now feeling great. been taking vitamins, but just bought a new better and fresher one. ??

I felt tired on Days 4 and 5. It passed after that. Also see if your vitamin has potassium in it. If not, get a potassium supplement - it's supposed to keep the lightheadedness away.
|
I felt just like that on day 5 ( or was it 4??) and TOM came the next day. I felt totally different than usual so I was, to say the least, unsuspecting!
Jinx |
Thankyou Atiaran, no potassium in the old vitamin, but it is in the new one. I feel better just knowing I am on track. Karen :)
|
I felt terrible for most of the first two weeks. It finally passed. Your vitamins may not have enough potassium to do the job. I take a 90mg besides the multivitamin.
|
I remember falling asleep on the couch! In the middle of the day, and it was sunny outside! I felt a bit guilty about that. Haven't had that problem since induction was done.
|
I know how you feel!
I was SOO tired for the majority of the first week on Induction. It passes. I feel normal now. :)
|
You're on track!
I think it was day 4 that I had been out shopping and came home Soooooo tired I could hardly move. I practically passed out climbing up the stairs to my bedroom. I added better vitamins after that - I found a good potassium (800mg) + magnesium at GNC.
As I recall - that was my last day of feeling sluggish. The next day I must have jumped into keto-space. I had energy to burn :yay: Hang in there. I can't guarantee that it will happen tomorrow, but you should be feeling better soon! |
Thankyou,Thankyou,Thankyou,,, you guys make this old 47yr plump woman even stronger, I will survive this, and be a happy lesser person!!!! 4 days, 4lbs down!! WAHOO :daze:

Im totally exhausted and do fall asleep every night on the couch after work, arent we supposed to have tons of energy, I dont
|
For me, I've had good energy since I started Induction (April 1). However, I started TOM today (my first TOM on Atkins) and for the past 2-3 days, I've been extremely exhausted.....I never get this tired on TOM. I even had to stay home from work, I was so exhausted! I'm guessing it might be because my body's used to having more carbs around this time of month?
Well, I'm off to collapse on the couch. |
Word of caution: If you have blood pressure problems, check with your doctor before taking extra potassium.
