Fatigue

[Walkngdeadqueen]

I’ve been eating high protein low carb for just over three weeks. I get so sleep and fatigued feeling at times and a decrease in mental clarity. Has anyone else noticed this? I have also had an increase in heartburn the last couple days. My cousin who is also pre surgery is having the same issue.

It’s been 27 days. I didn’t think that would be an issue. I gave up beef pretty much so I am wondering if it might be a B12 deficiency

Can you ask your doctor about it?

I don’t see my primary doctor until the 20th but I may have to go in. I don’t take naps and I did today for a couple hours.

I remember my nutritionist telling me that some people will have flu-like symptoms such as bad headaches and fatigue when giving up carbs. She advised pickles and even drinking the actual pickle juice. I guess sodium helps. That said, 27 days does seem like a long time out to still have this issue. I'd definitely talk to your doctor.
