| I just started the South Beach Diet on Monday. I went to go on my regular 3 mile run and had to walk. I had no energy to run. Then today, Thursday, I had a tennis match and between points I was struggling to get my breath. I have never really felt this way before. Has anyone had trouble like this? Will it get better?

| You duplicated this post ... But I will answer again. I used to run 15 miles a day and do other stuff on this diet. If anything I felt better and stronger. Be careful not to cut down too much on the amount of food you eat. Just be careful as to what you eat. Also drink pleanty of water. | ||||||||||

| Don't worry about the double post - (geesh, Tom, lighten up.) I did respond to your other post - check it out. Make sure you are getting 2 cups of nonfat plain yogurt/day and 1/2 cup of beans. It will help you through the shortness of breath and weakness if you want to stay active during P1. It passes. And it is common. Hang in there.

| I think that my body was going through "withdrawal" for all those bad carbs. My body didn't know where to get the energy it needed. I have had high blood pressure for years and since going SB my blood pressure is perfect(and it had been less than a week). I think my body had to adjust to my heart working more efficiently. Does that sound crazy? I do think that is true though. The 3rd and 4th days were the worst for me energy wise, but day 5 I woke up feeling great. | ||||||||||

| I think that's a pretty typical experience. I'm glad you are feeling better. How is it going these days?
