HCH and energy

[dontstoptiludrop]

I'm stating day 8 of the HCG and 500 calorie a day diet thru native healing ways.  I am a bit hungry but that is not what's bothering me.  The problem is I am tired and lack energy.  I also stopped my workout since day 2 cuz i don't have the energy.  I diid stop all caffeine cold turkey cuz Native healing Ways say no caffeine, even though KT say you can have it???  Any advise is appreciated.  Oh, I am losing but it's tough.

I just completed Phase 3 of Simeon's protocol and was very successful........lost 23 lbs and started at 156 lbs.  After much reading of Simeon's manuscript and KT's book, it was highly recommended to gorge the first two days.  I ate until I couldn't eat anymore......although some people do not follow through with this step in fear of gaining weight but I didn't care because I lost it and then some the first 7 days.  This could possibly explain your lack of energy and tiredness the first week.  Having said that just stick with it and your body will adjust.  Whatever you do.....don't give up!  It will be well worth your efforts.  Just think by the time you finish the protocol you will feel and look better than you ever have (depending on how much weight you need to lose).  Remember....if it were that easy everyone would be doing it.  You're different than everyone else........you made a commitment and you're doing it.  Tough days, tough times make you stronger and better!!!   Good Luck.
