I thought exercise was supposed to give you energy?
I've been exercising pretty hard all week and watching what I eat (phase 1 of South Beach). I'm absolutely exhausted!! I got back from the gym last night, rested for a bit before I took a shower and then felt absolutely sick after the shower. Maybe I'm allergic to exercise

Is it possible you're not eating enough? That along with the working out could make you very tired. Hope you feel better!

Very possible. I read a fitness article where the writer noted that a lot of people start eating more when they exercise and this can stall weight loss. So I've been trying not to increase what I normally eat, but it's possible that what I normally eat isn't enough to sustain all of the exercise.

Your food intake yes...but WATER!!! You can be dehydrated...you should be upping your water since you are probably losing fluid through perspiration.
Yes, you don't want to increase your food intake too much, but you should be adding a healthy carb and protein I believe. I am not good with the food advice because i fly by the seat of my pants with this one.

I think lower carb combined with exercise is doing it. You are burning any carbs you eat first and then you are probably getting low blood sugar. This happened to me a few times when I was eating low carb and then working out with my trainer. I would feel like I was going to  . Now I make sure to have some carbs before I work out. Just a thought.

Re: I thought exercise was supposed to give you energy?
Thanks for the advice ladies. I think I'm deifnitely dehydrated. As Kim knows, I'm not great at getting in the recommended 64 oz of water. Which might explain why I woke up twice last night dying of thirst!
ETA: Kim - maybe I need to revisit our old "Water Challenge"

I definitely think we need to. When do you want to start? Lets go b**** to the wall and drink only water for an entire week!

Re: I thought exercise was supposed to give you energy?
it might be your body's way of removing toxins...
I know it sounds weird, but as someone who has 'cleansed' their body, it makes sense... see how you feel in a few days...
