I konw I'm moaning but I just feel so tired. First 3 days were fine I felt ok if a little hungry but got up this morning to get kids ready for school and I can barely lift my arms:cry:I'm drinking about 5 litres of water a day and getting at least 10 hours sleep but right now I could quite happily go back to bed and sleep all day:sigh:

Ok moan over, is this normal? Will it get better? and is there anything I can do to get over it? Thanks guys

Sounds like switch over day. You have run out of carbs to burn hun and your body is doing the switch to burn your stored fat instead. Stick with it hun............the wonderful world of ketosis is not far away.xx

Hi Jules!

Good to have a moan and get it off your chest! Your on Day 4...most people say that days 3, 4 or 5 are the worst. Mine was 4/5. If you can just struggle on with it today and possibly tomorrow...things will start to get better then, they really will. It was strange for me..i woke up on day 6 and just felt so different, had loads of energy, no headaches, not lightheaded.

Just give yourself a bit of me time tonight if you can..have a nice relaxing bath or something. It's hard but as everyone on here will tell you..it will pass. You've not got long till your first weigh in now xx

I recommend listening to your body for the first 2 weeks...sleep when you feel you need it, paracetemol as necessary. Pamper yourself! It passes!
