Fatigue 1 year, 1 month ago Anyone else feeling tired and weak on this plan?












i just logged in to ask the same question. I’m only on day 3 but I thought I would feel better. I can barely make it through the day I’m so tired! All I want to do after work is crawl into bed. I used to come home and exercise, now I don’t have the energy to do it. Is this just a phase? Sure hoping so.
I am also on day 3 today was the toughest day, I felt so tired and weak I just wanted to go to bed. Kept on going feeling better now. Hope it’s better tomorrow.
I saw this kind of thing when I did the south beach diet – they called it the south beach flu! So I guess ours is the Blood Sugar Solution flu! It’s a cleansing reaction anfd should pass in another day or two! Margaret’s suggestions (below) are excellant and should help!
thanks for all the replies – it was indeed a phase. By day 4 I had lost 12 lbs in water weight, so obviously my body had some adjusting to do. I feel much better now. Slid back a little on the eating for Easter Sunday and boy did my body rebel! It really made me aware of how bad food affects me after not eating it for a while.
I felt the same way for some of the first week. I started eating more protein and it helped. I think that for some people our bodies are going thru a lot of cleansing and healing in the beginning and we need more rest. Also if you are not on the advanced plan, maybe a small portion of beans would give you added energy. Also, brew a pot of green tea and sip it during the day. I think that really helped me. The first week I was not aware that green and white tea are acceptable. During the second week my energy perked up.
I am on day 94 and can hardly put one foot in front of the other. I have kept meticulous records of everything I’ve ingested – supplements, meals, etc. I’ve lost 22 pounds and my blood pressure is down so that I only take my medication every 3-4 days. I reallly thought I’d feel better as a result of eating well, drinking filtered water and having absolutely no caffeine, sugar, artificial sweetener, gluten or dairy or 3 months.
