Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 I've been using ORegano oil three times a day and can not find a carb count for it. Can anyone take a good guess as to whether it is high in carbs or not? in ca. > I'm willing to give EPO a try.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2000 Report Share Posted October 27, 2000 How much sleep are you getting? I went to my doc because I was tired all of the time and he had me write down everything I ate and my bedtime, wake-up time for two weeks. Turns out I was only sleeping 5 or 6 hours a night. Getting a minimum of 8 hours each night solved my problem.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 Lorrie, Just exactly how long have you been on Atkins? If my memory serves me right your still in the first two weeks. I felt kinda crappy for the first 3 weeks. So just keep hangin in there girl, I'm sure you'll feel better. I also find that now the more I do the more energy I have. So I try to exercise 3-4 times a week at least. For some odd reason it gives me more energy. But I know when I started the plan I laid around alot because I was afraid to expend any energy for fear it would make me eat more, but in actuality it made me less hungry. WHO KNEW??? lol HTH, Cheryl Ü Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 Lorrie, When I first started this wol I had terrible tiredness, I would get to a point where,(I am not sure how to describe this.) I just had to sleep a minute or two, I was so exhausted....I would nap for 1/2 hour and be fine for a while...(before this wol I was sleeping 14hr. a day at least)...I was worried and posted to my lists, others had the same problem and I discovered it was part of the withdrawl process and by week 4 or 5 I think I got the engergy everyone talks about and was only sleeping 6 hours a nite and couldnt sleep anymore than that... let me tell you I have lots of energy and get lots more done now a days....I did up my vitamins to 2 a day (mega multi vit) and added L-carnitine. Not to worry, it will soon pass and you will be feeling wonderful and full of energy....Annie _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 I found that taking L-Carnitine as recommended in Dr Atkins book, really has helped me. I was really dragging myself around before that. Also make sure you are taking your vitamin supplements regularly.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 Yes, I am in Day 7 now of Induction. Thanks for the info. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong because I was feeling tired and no energy. Lorrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
