Can you give advice for extreme tiredness/sluggishness/ho-hu

I only have two things for advice. Hopefully they are decent enough to make up for the lacking third idea.

1) Just Take it in steps. When you are sitting there and the last thing you want to do is get up and workout, just focus on getting up and putting your workout clothes on. Then do whatever small thing that gets you started. When I don't want to run, I just get out the door and walk. If I'm doing calisthenics, I start with the laziest thing and work my way up.

2) Find music that gets you motivated. Whatever music you like that boosts your mood. I used to try to exercise without an mp3 player or radio or anything. It was okay, and enjoyable half the time. Now that I run with an ipod, I can't imagine being without it. It helps every time. Now whenever I hear those songs, it's just enough pick me up to get me off the couch. (It even works when I don't feel like doing something in the house, like cleaning or dinner.)

I think that you should go to your doctor and have a full blood panel done to be sure that you are not deficient in any specific vitamin because just starting to take supplements and vitamins can be dangerous. Make sure you do not have Epstein-Barre Virus and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Make sure you don't have high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol.

If you are depressed, try anti-depressants because they can help.

A pulmonologist can tell you if you have sleep apnea, which would cause extreme fatigue.

I agree with many of the other suggestions here, cut the carbs, move a little at a time, etc. BUT, you should have a complete physical prior to starting so that you are at your best and can put our your best effort.

The blood testing can let you know where you have to adjust your diet. Good luck!! I wish you the very best!

I've told many people on this site the same thing I'm going to tell you now. Ask yourself one simple question. Are you willing to let food control your life? If the answer is yes, prepare to be overweight forever. If the answer is no, then put down the fork, get off the couch, and exercise. As long as you keep over-eating and under-exercising, food will be the locus of control in your life. Do you really want anything or anyone other than you to be the boss of how you live, especially an inanimate thing? Food is good. You should enjoy what you put into your body. But, it's also your fuel. If you start to see it as more than fuel, and something you can eat to make you happy, you lose sight of things. That's not to say never have any cheat meals, I do. Had one today. But don't lose sight of the fact that food is your fuel, and treat it as such. Once you start fueling up your tank with the right kind of gas, your engine will run better than ever. Be kind to your body.
