wrote in message ... Help I'm on slimfast and feel tired all the time. I have one shake for breakfast usually and eat salad or low fat and low cal food until 6pm where I have a 600kcal meal. I am feeling really tired all the time and I when I used to over eat I could stay awake for 15 hours easily. Now I can only stay awake for 12 hours, I used to sleep not more than 6 or 8 hours a day before the diet. What I can I do to keep losing weight but not feel so tired all the time. Sleeping is not the answer because I can't cut my hours down and I can't sleep for 12 hours because that is bad. I've just joined a fully featured gym which I hope will help me but anything I should be eating or doing to stop me feeling soooooo tired? Slimfast helps because when I drink the shakes, I don't feel hungry and I don't need to eat sugar. It's only one shake a day anyway. I'm sorry but this reminds me way too much of the old skit, Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Then don't do that. You don't say you're exercising. You can't be healthy without exercise and you can lose weight and prevent a number of major life-threatening diseases if you do exercise. You obviously haven't read the Slimfast can. There is a LOT of sugar in it according to what has been posted here in the past. So I imagine you might be suffering from sugar crash. |

At the moment, if I don't have Slimfast I snack out on Sugar, at least 30g of fat per chocolate bar and I'll have at least 2 of that a day! I've had this tiredness problem for about 4 years whilst being slim.. When I've been slim and of normal weight, I could not get up in the morning. I was always late for work at all of my jobs. I used to be overweight when I was younger then I starved myself and went from 15st down to 10.4st. People then said I was too skinny and I should put on weight which I did, and went up to 11.5st. I stayed at 11.5 to 12st weight, waist sizes 32 to 34 for 4 years without any problems. Then suddenly, this year I sat around for a couple of months at home, didn't go out, took advantage of the free big mac offers at McDonalds (2 for 1) and the weight piled on. I used to be a 34 waist and now I'm a 38 - all in two months! I know when I lose the weight again, I'll feel tired like I used to. I need a long term solution because I always feel tired when I'm slim. When I was overweight in my mid teens, I had loads of energy. Have you ever been tested for underactive thyroid? It is one of several badly under-diagnosed problems. Second do you exercise. If you don't you won't be healthy no matter what you do. |
