cmr 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Do any of you find that your energy level is really low? I am really stuggling to make myself do any chores at home. I tend to do what I need to do at work but at home I just vegitate. I don't have anyone left at home anymore... just the dogs and I don't feel like doing anything. Is it because of the low calories? Is there anything that I can take to pump my energy level up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jammin & Losin 1 Posted February 12, 2006 I find that when I take a B12 Vitamin I can tell a difference in my energy level...it really seems to help. I take the Losenges that melt in your mouth in 30 seconds..so no worry about taking something that will get stuck!! Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsButterKup23 1 Posted February 12, 2006 The first question that pops in my mind are you getting your Protein in? As Jamie pointed out B12 is another common issue for those who are low on energy. Also are you taking a multi-Vitamin? I take Centrum chewables each night and some veggie pills because I hate green veggies. I have found that my energy has gone way up since I started doing this and religiously drinking my Protein each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonwillow 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Also do you have issues with Thyroid. My energy levels were really low for awhile....come to find out I was hypothyroid, B12 deficient, and low Iron. All notorious for making energy levels low. This was presurgery...so my primary care doc had me coming in for weekly b12 shots to boost it and started me on iron supplements along with thyroid medicine. I've felt much better for about 5 months, but I noticed my energy levels are dropping again, my weight loss has slowed, there is alot more hair in my brush again, and my hands and feet are always cold. I'm going to be making an appointment soon to get my levels checked again. I had hoped as I lost weight that the thyroid at least would level out or get better, but i don't think that is the case.

Iluvharleys 15 Posted February 12, 2006 Are you doing some kind of exercise? That will give you more energy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeenBand 7 Posted February 12, 2006 I so understand what that feeling is like. A few things can do that for me, low B12, not enough Water or protien, and depression. I have Fibromyalgia and chronic fatique syndrome so it's par for the course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
