Ok I am on a diet and so far its working and I am loosing weight,
which is the good news I have lost about ten pounds in two weeks. The
bad news is I am totally exhausted and I have no energy whatsoever. I
can barely get out of bed is this normal and if so will it get better?

It sounds like you're on a crash diet. If you really have lost 10lbs
in 2 weeks, you're probably eating far too little, which could be
setting you up for disaster.

If there's one lesson to take away from a diet, it's that NOTHING ever
changes until you make a conscious effort to excite that change. If
you feel exhausted and crappy now, you'll continue to feel that way
until you make a change.


My recommendation is to eat more food overall (I'd say 2lbs/week is
the most you should be attempting without professional help; consult a
professional ANYWAY if you have the opportunity). You should be
eating protein and "good" carbs, with plenty of low-calorie veggies/
etc. to compensate for the drastic reduction in volume (lest you
experience the less pleasant side of dieting...).

Definitely avoid processed sugars and fats. Eat small meals often to
keep your blood sugar regulated.


But mostly, it sounds like you're approaching your diet all wrong.
Nobody puts on weight quickly, and nobody loses it quickly either.
Patience is unfortunately quite necessary to stick a diet through.

Good luck!
