Help~~!! I cannot stop!!!

lol =D U are lacking of sugar in your blood!! There are not enough glucose to help u stay active.. hehe ^_^ Maybe u should have at least a snack, which is high in sugar to help u stay awake, especially in the noon.. haha =D Because that's the time, your body needs to replenish itself after half a day of work, and also, to give u energy to last the day.. hehe ^_^ No matter how strict one's diet can be, there's always room for a lazy day, whereby u need not follow usual routine.. hehe ^_^

The years have seen me with less sleep much as I wanted to fall asleep at the touch of the pillow. I have been troubled with insomniac nights for years now which is an advantage for me to be in mylot. Munchies....yes, I love junks. Like little kids I'll pop in anything into my mouth without fear of gaining pounds when I am surfing the net. Another extra job for me to shed the extra pounds when I really ballooned out.

hello my friend!I think you need more exercise! The way to be more alert and energetic and less lethargic in my humble opinion is to exercise regularly! how about lunchtime at the gym? i have a few colleagues who do this. some are girls trying to lose weight, some are men trying to build up bulk, but whatever your motivation, a lil more exercise doesn't do anyone any harm!or just walking more instead of taking a car or bus. maybe get down one bus stop earlier, or if you have time and it's cool in the evening, one train stop earlier??:)

Maybe your low calorie diet is taking toll on your body. If your calorie intake is too little for your body size, there are negative changes that can be felt but of course you loose weight, and that's good news. When the body lacks sugar or glucose, you tend to be sleepy most of the time and less attentive that you used to be. You have to put your intake or diet into consideration. Perhaps, the calorie intake needs to be increased a little. Ever heard eating a candy when you feel sleepy. It's not just a myth. It does have some facts to it. The sugar keeps you up and sustains the needed glucose for the brain. You should also do exercise as it release endorphines (happy hormone) and makes you feel more alive. I wish you luck in loosing weight, and consider also being healthy in the process.

..Hi ahgong. I eat whenever, so I don't necessarily have to be sleepy. Food is my vice. I usually do this is stop a headache, which works. But one time I was sleepy and I didn't have time to take a nap and tried it and I became alert. Sometimes the brain just needs oxygen, so I hold my nose, close my mouth, and blow air up into my brain, like a blow fish. Do it gently for six or seven times, for three or four sessions. This cures a headache and as I found out, makes you alert. Try it, it works.

If you can only stay awake as long as you're chewing on something try chewing some gum. Maybe that'll help. Also maybe you're just simply not getting enough sleep. You could also have an iron deficiency, that could make you tired. Also, and I know this may sound weird, try excersizing. That actually boosts your energy level. Good luck!

Luckily i don't suffer from the Z monster like you but i think it's usually attacks when we eat too much of food, just couple hours after ... so keep your eat habit on normal servings, and if you still sleepy, maybe stands up and walk a while is the best weapon for you to keep away from the Z monster, so you don't have to chew anything, which is could be make it more worst

hey man.. i think its just a matter of having discipline.. and maybe you have not started your diet right.. you cant go on a super diet abruptly coz maybe you will still crave in the future.. and i think thats whats happening to you now.. have you tried to slowly decrease your food intake?? and then after a few weeks or so you try to lessen it again.. and so on until finally you have arrived to the low calorie diet that you want.. and in no time you will be in shape..

Hi Ahgong! Are you getting enough sleep at night? This never happened to me before... Im also trying to lose weight but I not feeling sleepy when its not time for me to sleep. If you keep on eating to keep you awake I think it will also compromise your goal of losing weight. Try to maybe stand and do some stretching if you're allowed in your cubicle to atleast awaken your muscles. Drink a lot of water. I think that's all I can advise. :)

YES!! I totally know what you mean!! That's how I keep gaining those extra pounds I never really noticed until it was too late!! For me, to stay awake, I drink a special energy mix in a powder form (there's also a carbonated version). I get tired really easily but when I drink the energy drink (it only has about 10 calories for each packet) I feel awake almost instantly. The carbonated drink, which I drink sometimes, has L-Carnitine so it helps to burn fat. I don't know but hopefully this helped a little?
