Brenda, are you taking any supplements? Fatigue is often associated with loss of potassium along with water that is flushed out when you start a LC program.
Supplementing ith 400mg of potassium will help. You can get a product called 'nuSalt' in the grocery store - 1/8th of a teaspoon in a very large glass of water will do the trick (much better than swallowing even more pills ). Be sure you're well hydrated when taking potassium.
Also, have a look through the thread called 'Hot Links!' at the top of the "newbies' questions' forum (its a sticky) halfway down the post there is a link to information on Potassium/calcium and magnesium supplements and doses - taking the right supplements and vitamines makes a huge difference in how you feel.
It's also a good idea when you start LCing to give your body a two week window to adjust to burning a new fuel - going from glucose to ketones takes a lot out of you.
