Day 1: (10-19-10) Had a little less energy than usual but my appetite was also down quite a bit. I have a carb addiction and even though I was still craving them...and giving in...it was less daunting than usual. Weighed the same this morning as yesterday, 155.6, but slept better than I normally do. Bonus! No adverse reactions of any kind. Carb cravings were down all day.
Day 2: (10-20-10) I was tired all day and that was even with 24ozs of coffee in me. I just couldn't get going. I expected that, though, since I use Concerta, and when I stop using that, I always have a dip in energy levels. I ate less than usual. Had the tea at bedtime around 9:45.
Day 3: (10-21-10) 154.2 this morning. Slept good. Woke up more alert than normal today and before the alarm went off. Had about 16ozs coffee. That was all I coudl stand, and I LOVE coffee. Carb cravings are pretty bad. Had enough energy and motivation to do a little workout. Since I was so tired yesterday, I decided to take the ginseng, B vitamins, and Chromium Picolinate after breakfast. Doing better today, energy-wise.
