I am new to the low carb life style. I literally started a few days ago. But now I am really sleepy most of the day even after drinking coffee. Any insights?

    Just chiming in to reassure you that it's normal to feel sleepy the first few days.

    Definitely check out the "Start Here" thread if you haven't already. Lots of great info there.

    Get some sodium. You're losing water weight and sodium with it. You need 3000-5000mg of sodium a day to prevent magnesium and potassium deficiency.

    Yep, definitely watch your electrolytes and give yourself a little time to adjust.
