    Thanks for that. Fatigue is a huge issue for me (sleep disorder & CFS). I'll give this a try (after checking on interactions, of course).


    Of course, check that. For me, its been life changing n I noticed a diff in days

    Definitely try eating more. I increased my calories to 2200 and started losing 2lbs a week. At a lower calorie level I was losing maybe .5 lbs a week and I need to lose 70 lbs...well 60 now LOL The increased calories take some adjusting. Try eating nuts, peanut butter or other full calorie healthy foods to get to the calories you need. I could not eat 2200 at first w/o having about 200-300 calories a day in nuts or a protein bar. Good luck!

    Your body has this primal thing called starvation mode. This is one of those reflexive things your body will do and it will hang onto every ounce of fat that it can. Having to take a supplement for energy indicates that your body is trying to tell you something. I agree with those that suggest going to the eat more to weigh less. That is a hard concept to comprehend, but starvation mode is what kept the human race going in times of famine. Good luck on breaking your Plataea and remember to celebrate you success.
