why am I so tired?

[Guest guest]

Jo,

I remember when I hit the week 4-5-6 stage I was dead dog tired. It was

my body rebelling against my new metabolism. You might try shifting the

majority of your carbs to the first half of the day to power you through.

Keep the quality of your carbs high, no whites!!! Also you may want to look

into supplementing with Flax oil at 2-3 Tablespoons a day with meals. This

extra fat gives you the instant energy lift and the essential omega fatty

acids your body may be lacking from your diet. Also be careful of the

possibility of overtraining, I goof on this often. Your body needs rest

periods to recover. Also make sure you are getting as close to 8 hours

sleep as possible. I hope this helps. Good Luck, push through it, it gets

better!

Hello all,

I have a question -- with any luck you guys may have the answer! I'm

into my sixth week of the challenge (haven't missed a day of

exercising) and I seem to be getting increasingly more exhausted.

It's

like I've hit a wall or something. This morning I did my aerobics but

it was really tough, and I certainly wasn't hitting the highs I was

hitting just a couple of weeks ago.

I called the help line and they suggested that perhaps I wasn't

getting enough carbs and fat in my diet. The diet part is a problem

for me because I can't eat most dairy products and grains, so Myoplex

is out. I've been making myself shakes using rice protein, and trying

to make sure I have adequate protein, but I must say, I HAVE been

trying to cut back on the " white " carbs (rice, potaotes etc.). Could

this make such a difference? Is my metabolism changing so much that

the old eating rules don't apply?

Mentally I'm feeling great! Still really enjoying the whole thing,

but

this is perplexing me.

Any ideas?

Low energy Jo

Listen to Randi. She's on the money. Also be aware of your carb sensitivity.

Things that are high in carbs like fruit, especially citrus, will give you a

" spike " where you'll feel great immediately and then dive into this near

zombie state where you can't function for the rest of the day. That's the

insulin kicking in and the serotonin level in your brain kicking up. You

might want to eat something on the lower glycemic end during those meals of

the day like your brown rice, oatmeal, pasta and vegatables. And make sure

you are getting enough protein to balance that out. Breakfast is very

important!!!! That's what will kick start your day so you aren't dragging.

So don't be late eating.

Jo, Also check your nutrition charts...you are keeping them aren't you? It's

really important to keep them at first so that you can really KNOW what you

are eating every day. Soon you won't have to worry about it because you'll

be able to easily tell if the components of a meal are balanced.

I take an anti-depressant for sleep (Elavil) and one side effect can

be a sweet tooth. When I get horrible cravings, I eat a bar or CC

with fruit to try to ward off the other temptations. Even CC with

yogurt sometimes does the trick.

As far as being tired, are you getting enough calories? Are you

getting enough sleep? Are you getting restful sleep?

I'm not sure what Betatrim is, but could it be causing headaches? Do

you get headaches if you don't take it?

I would cut out all of the supplements and see how you feel. All of them could

contribute to headaches and fatigue. A fat burner like betatrim combined with an

anti-depressant is never a good idea. Too many things can go squirrelly with

your energy and your moods. The creatine in the betagen can be very dehydrating

and cause a headache. CLA can affect insulin sensitivity which may or may not

have something to do with your sweet cravings.

I would just stop all of it and see what happens. If you've been consuming a lot

of caffeine, don't quit that cold turkey or your head may explode. Just switch

to plain coffee or tea or diet soda and be sure to drink an extra glass of water

for each caffeinated drink. Cut it out early enough in the day that you're able

to get a good night's sleep. Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep could also

contribute to fatigue and food cravings. When you're wiped out it's really

tempting to eat because it wakes you up and makes you feel better (very

temporarily). Anybody who's ever worked a night shift probably knows the

feeling.

If you watch a lot of TV try turning it off at least an hour before you go

to bed and do some reading or working with your hands instead. Studies have

shown that TV " excites " portions of your brain, and that if you fall asleep

with those parts excited, you're sleep is lower quality and less restful.

I am a 49 yr old woman. I try to eat healthy and excercise. I work a 40 hr's a

week, which means getting up very early in the morning. I feel myself fading

fast. I'm tired all the time. On my day's off, I find myself sleeping a lot.

I can hardly move a muscle to take care of myself...I'm too exhausted to even

cook. My fatigue is so bad that while driving, I find myself dozing. Like I

said, I try excercising, but sometimes my muscles in my legs are so weak, I

can't even make it up a small hill when I take my walks. I've gone to the

doctors about this and have taken all the available blood tests you can imagine,

including thyroid and hemaglobing A1C for diabetes. All came out negative. I

still suspect hypoglycemia or thyroid problems....not sure. I take iodine drops

just in case it's thyroid. I give myself B12 shots, and alkaline water. I

still feel like I can't function. Still feel tired just coming home from doing

a few errands, and after my shift at work is over, I still feel like a huge

truck has ran over me leaving me totally exhausted and achy inside

What can I do next to try to get some relief. This isn't living at all, I may

as well enroll myself in a nursing home now.

Please help me!

Elly, this is NOT a diagnosis but have you been checked for Candida Albicans?

 

I've helped a LOT of people with this malady and it sure does fit your picture!

It took me a long time to find someone who could read a thyroid test

correctly.

I finally found a general md who agreed to refer me to an

endocrinologist who listed to my list of symptoms and told me I did not

have a thyroid problem. (I had gotten list from a thyroid organization)

He was so sure that I was not hypothyroid, but listened when I told him

my grandmother died of thyroid cancer. I had read that untreated thyroid

problems could lead to cancer.

He humored me and did some testing and was surprised when I WAS hypothyroid.

Also, at your age are you taking vitamin supplements? I feel the best

ones are from health food stores and not the simple GNC stores.

good luck

Tonify spleen qi. Find a good acupuncturist who also does herbs. They can

taylor an herbal formula specifically to your individual needs.

I have a great paper on iodine that may be very helpful. If you want it, email

me at arthur@... and I will send it by email.

Re:why am I so tired?

Interesting. I am unsure what to do. I was hypothyroid, had all the symptoms,

and TSH, T4, T3 were postivit. I am unable to take Armour or Thyroxine because

it affected my heart in a negative way. I have hert failure and arrythmias.

Adrenals support both from porcine and bovine caused a reaction.

My tests are now normal, but I still have all the symptoms, including rapid

weight gain, which is not going down.

Input appreciated, Thanks.

yes i heard a great way to apply iodine was to rub a couple drops on your

thyroid area daily.

Please do clarify the diffrence between Hypothyroid and Goitre and correct me if

I am wrong..yes i do agree that both are in the neck region but entirly diffrent

purpuse. Goitre is caused due to lack of Iodine in the body and Hypothyroid is

caused due to the failure  or reduction in function of the pitutry or the

thalamus glands which help in the function of all the glands in the body.

Dear Friend You are feeling tired because your Basic Chakra is badly depleted 

and has to be charged by doing some hip and pelvic movement exersice.Tyr there

is no harm if you can do some movements clockwise  and anti clockwise for 5

minutes daily.

wishing you all the luck.

But goitre is caused by the thyroid not having enough iodine to

function properly. dee

I am very sorry i do not agree with you as goitre is diffrent from Hypothyrodism

Goitre is extra growth of the gland due to Iodine diffecency and Hypothrodism is

failure of the funtion of the gland due to stress.I hope I am clear now.

may I contribute respectfully] to this thread:

 

its difficult for me to see that people who are supposedly protocol

enthusiasts are completely igoring Dr. 's work.  Why?  Who knows but the

facts are quite clear that any who espouse all these theories about why

someone's thyroid would not function correctly is ignoring the basis theories

and proofs gleaned by Dr. in her extemsive work beginning with the book,

CURE FOR ALL DISEASES - it is parasitic in nature.

 

The first check for a thyroid problem would logically be [and I again state with

dramatic frustration that as Dr. opined and proved] for a parasite(s) in

that gland!

 

Why is anyone so tired?  Epstein -Barr ... again MORE PARASITES!  EPB wears

people out totally!  Next, CA which also has the effect of debilitating the

Thyroid!  A few treatments with a FG will abate EPB in as many days!  CA is a

bit more tenacious but protocol followed faithfully can rid one of it in a

matter of a couple of weeks.

 

This is all basic protocol people!  I've been following it since 1995 more

or less and it has never let me [or my clients] down! Let's quit treating

symptoms and get rid of the basic cause of why the throid does not have enough

iodine!

Yes you are correct and that is what i have said too only in a different

context.Extra growth for goitre due to iodine deficiency and failure  of the

same gland for Hypothyroidism.
