    The first things I'd suggest looking at are to make sure you're eating enough, sleeping enough, and not overtraining. Also are you eating plenty of protein, fat, and fiber as these help us stay fuller and more satisfied longer? Are you drinking plenty of water?

    I used go train for ages, but iv started just doing and hour or so cardio and weights so i dont think its over training, im thinking the tiredness could be due to not sleeping right but im not sure about the eating lol, i just keep craving junk food, i try to make sure im eating the right foods and drinking water , im always thirsty aswell, but thank you :) i googled things and i was thinking i may have an iron deficency

    Time to see your Dr. and get some lab work done, that is the first and most important step. It sounds like a medical issue to me and that is something that can't be helped here until you know what it is...

    I felt kinda tired and hungry starting about week 2 into my program. The first 2 weeks were great, but then I hit a wall. I added back a few calories and got a couple nights good sleep and felt much better.

    I did keep up the exercise and it helped me get through the slump. I'm back on track now and feeling good again. As long as nothing is wrong medically you might just be taking a bit of time to adjust. How long have you been on this program?

    If it doesn't get better see you doc to find out if anything is wrong.

    Good luck!

    How many calories are you eating? You have to fuel your body or you will be hungry and tired. I would check with the doctor just to be safe.

    What worked for me:

    Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every a.m.

    No caffeine after 10 a.m.

    Get an adequate amount of sleep. I need at least 8 hours.

    I found that the better I stick to the above, the better I am to eat healthfully and feel good.
