High Carb Risks – Fatigue Is Common

A summary of an article originally published in First for Women.

This article features tips from Dr. Atkins on his approach to fighting holiday fatigue (and beyond). "Fatigue is the number-one symptom I've had to treat going back to my earliest days as a doctor," says Robert C. Atkins, M.D., founder of The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine and author of Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution. "In fact, it's so common that it may not even be mentioned by people unless their doctor asks. It's only then that they realize how little energy they have; they've become so accustomed to fatigue, they think it's normal.

At The Center, each person gets a workup. Usually, there's no single cause for their fatigue, but the three most common conditions are unstable blood sugar; chronic fatigue syndrome and a sluggish thyroid." Dr. Atkins adds that energy renewal starts with a controlled carbohydrate/high-protein eating plan and once the individual begins to burn fat rather than glucose for fuel, the results are so dramatic that it turns him or her into a new person who feels amazingly energized.
