Am I supposed to be tired? The wife and I are both noticing a drop in energy levels. Is this normal?

When i got tired first time around ( don ' t have that issue nearly as much this time ) I switched from normal vitamins to specific low - carb vitamins. That helped incomparably. I also upped my carbs to about 35g or so per day...
This time I started taking the low carb vitamins about a week before i actually started induction and haven ' t had nearly the issues i had before! Atkins " Flu " was minimal compared to last time - I do get more tired than usual sometimes but not anywhere near like before...
Sorry I don ' t have any more suggestions...
Brightest Blessings,
Lisa

I ' m experiencing just the opposite. I started my low - carb diet last Sunday ( 2 / 17 ) and my energy level is better than it has been for a couple of years. Before I started this, there would be mornings that I ' d get the kids off to school then go back to bed because I was just so tired. I haven ' t done that once this week, I ' ve been feeling pretty good. I hope you and your wife start feeling better, I think it ' s just a matter of time for your body to get used to this diet.
pheonixheart, I ' ve never seen low - carb vitamins ( but then again, I never knew the existed so I never looked for them, are they a specific brand?

They ' re hard to find - i can ' t find them anywhere locally. I currently have a supply of Atkins Basic 3 low carb vitamins but will have to get something else when they run out as the Atkins web site doesn ' t even seem to carry them any longer!
