So, full results disclosure of my recent experiments…
Fatigue is not a new experience, but this is driving me loco. After the adventurous workouts, it took a few days of riding the couch to get my energy back. Since I broke the fast, I have been so very tired. My energy was fine during the workouts and juicing. A health hangover? Today I made it to after lunch before I crashed. A definite improvement over the weekend, when doing laundry was a reason to lay down. I did have a juice this morning and will have one tonight, if I can find the energy to make it.
Just tired of being tired. I am sure I will get over it soon enough. My body is slowly finding homeostasis. A happy flower, after the rain….

just relax and let yourself be tired till it passes
Thanks, I need to remember the “R” word.
do … it’s important
I am tired of being tired too. And I didn’t even have the healthy week!
Skipping to the last page in the book…how efficient 😉
Ha! I am nothing, if not efficient!!
Hehe, nice.
Yea, gotta be careful with the fasting and working out. Sometimes I need to remind myself that fasting and exercise are STRESSORS to the body, albeit healthy ones. =)
Lesson learned here 8)
The fasting rebound surprised me.
I can imagine how tired you must be! 3 days was bad enough. Beautiful flower! 🙂
Thanks!
Everyday is better. So, was day four bad for you?
I only did the juice fast for three days. It was my first time so I thought I’d better take it slow and see how I responded to it. 🙂
Smart! 🙂
I think the fatigue is your body’s way of telling you to stop! If you work out lots without feeding yourself, it will not be a good thing. A lack of protien intake will prompt your body to take the protien from your own muscle tissue. the less muscle you have, the slower your metabolism will be and this will make weight loss more difficult in the future. Be careful! Take care and good luck!
Oh, I have stopped! What I thought was funny was that the fatigue did not start until I stopped. I am pretty much back to my base line low energy and the misery fatigue is gone. Thanks for your comment. I will make it shorter if I do it again.
I am sure you are drinking lots of water right? Everyone drink your water…easy to get dehydrated in the heat. Much love to you Katie and thanks for coming by.
The first couple of days after I stopped, I could not get enough. I guess after losing that much water weight, my body freaked out.
My Mom who is a very health fit 73 was feeling really tired and bad, unusual for her. A girl at the Dry Cleaner said “Hun you are probably dehydrated.” The woman does not drink water, well that was it.
Interesting. I was focused on water while I was fasting because of the detox and diuretic effects of some of the stuff I was juicing. I dropped off a bit the first day I quit. Maybe I had to play catch up for that day.
I believe we all go through periods of fatigue, I know I do. But with the proper rest (and diet) I will bounce right back. And you will too.
Thanks, I think I’m back to my normal tired now 8)
Fasting AND do laundry? No wonder you want the happy flower after the rain. Maybe you should choose between cleaning your body and cleaning the clothers.
Excellent blog!
Had not thought of it like that 8). Thanks for coming by so I could discover your posts. So well done with a unique format.
Oh, fasting’s tough (especially when there are other things to be done!) I do love me some good green juice, though…sometimes drinking a wee bit of salt water helps me – it was a tip given to me by someone who (like me) suffered from some severe headaches during their detox/fast, and who was advised that perhaps her body had lost too much salt in the process. Just a thought 🙂
I might add that….if I ever try it again 8)
Thanks for commenting and for the idea!
