Does anyone have any advice on how to raise my energy level naturally???? Any foods that are natural energizers or vitamin/supplements that have worked for you? I am so tired and sleepy all the time it seems... I can hardly hold my eyes open when sitting at my desk and I have no energy to do anything but go home and sit on my couch watching tv and napping after work:yawn: . I don't even feel like cleaning my house and that is bad! Any ideas that I can try will be appreciated! Thanks!

I second this. Go buy a test.0 -
B-vitamin supplement with B-6 and B-12
I forget to take mine sometimes, and I can tell the difference.0 -

Make sure you're eating enough food and nutrient dense food such as:
Veggies
Fruits
Nuts
And other proteins
Also drink lots of water and sublingual B12 has helped me.
Exercise
Have a check-up if it doesn't get better.0 -

I felt like that when I was anemic. It might be worth talking to your doctor about and getting a blood test to see if your iron is low. If it is, it can be corrected with proper diet and maybe a supplement. However, please don't take an iron supplement without checking with your doctor. It can actually be dangerous if your iron levels are too high.:flowerforyou:0

I felt that way before I started walking outside for about 20 minutes first thing in the morning(about 3 times a week). The hardest part is getting myself out of the warm bed but once I come back I seem to have tons of energy.0

Get a pregnancy test.
Get your iron levels checked.
Take a multivitamin in case you are low on B vitamins.
Drink moar coffee.
Eat a breakfast with protein and complex carbs. (This works wonders for me tbh)0 -
How's your diet and calorie intake? Are you trying to undereat to lose faster - bad idea. Are you eating a lot of processed foods? I'm no clean eater but when I'm honest with myself, I have to admit that eating processed stuff is mostly a waste of calories because it just leaves me hungry and doesn't provide much energy. Are you drinking plenty of water?
Opening your diary might help us give more constructive advice.0 -
i would recommend taking a woman's daily multi vitamin. i actually take a prenatal vitamin every day. (my husband and i are going to start trying soon but i actually switched from a regular woman's daily multi to a prenatal a few years ago because of really bad anemia.)
if i don't take it for a few days, i will be verrrrrrrry fatigued. and the B vitamins help a ton with energy levels. is it possible you're vitamin or iron deficient?
of course, talk to your doctor first.0 -
How much sleep are you getting? I tend to alternate between "burning the midnight oil" and "crash and burn" early in the evening. On crash and burn days, I go to bed earlier and get more sleep. I've always been this way, so, in my case, at least, it's not the work of a calorie deficit. Alternatively, you could be suffering from depression or (as others have suggested), one of the early symptoms of pregnancy is being tired all the time. Check your diet and make sure you're getting enough carbs and protein and if the fatigue doesn't resolve with any dietary improvements you might find as needful, please see your doctor.0

It happens with me as well. I went to the Dr, and he believes I am anemic, which would account for my lethargy. The OP should consider inquiring of her Dr regarding anemia.0 -
Having this problem years ago, I have to say, being tired, coupled with very sleepy in an overweight person, have your doctor arrange to have you checked for sleep apnea. Most overweight people have it with out realizing it. Correcting it, makes a world of difference.0
