You could actually be sugar intolerant.  As long as you are ingesting an offensive substance, your body fights to maintain homostasis.  When you've been off of it for a while, you have withdrawal and detoxification symptoms.  You may also have severe cravings.  \n\nMake sure you are drinking plenty of pure water and fresh fruit and vegetables.  They'll help with the detox process.  \n\nAlso it would be good to get a check up.  Have your blood glucose levels checked and your thyroid and adrenal function.  You could be resorting to sugar to give you a boost because something else is amiss.

I have my days where I seem to not sleep, I also loose the eating feeling. I try to keep fluids at least and drink V8 or tomato juice. The V8 will help with the weakness because of all the vegetables.

your body is busy fighting and is rejecting things that weaken it so you are not in a hungry mood. It will accept nourishment and you need to force some things to keep strong.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!!

I'm diabetic (high sugar) but I can still have a low depending on my meds, when I ate last, stress, too much exercise, etc.  I tend to feel shakey, tremble, get a headache, get irritable.\n\nSix years after diagnoses I still don't have any symptoms to show that my blood sugar is too high.  The only way I know is to use my meter.

watch your intake of sweets...remember carbs break down to sugar in your body. Being overweight really contributes to diabetes. You need to get plenty of exercise...as this burns glucose in your body (sugar)....I was diabetic...I lost 60 lbs....and I no longer have it...I took a course in this...the dietician said sugar...is sugar...is sugar...your body doesnt know the difference....if you are eating a bowl of jello..or 3 slices of bread....it breaks down in your body as sugar...one tip I learned...if you eat something sweet...have some protein with it...it like counteracts it...it just slows the sugar breakdown....I always had a little protein in the morning...it just made me feel better for the day. A doughnut with a glass of orangejuice, would be the worst thing you could eat for breakfast. Your sugar would soar...the slam you down in a short period of time...then you feel tired or sleepy....I know...I've been there. Always remain active...that will ensure you to keep your bloodsugar more stable....the best foods you eat are legumes..(beans)...they help to stabilize blood sugar, for longer periods of time.

You might be tired due to a drop in blood sugar. Therefore your body craves something sweet to raise the blood sugar. Other people might crave carbohydrates of some kind such as bread, pasta, or potatoes ie French Fries. Carbohydrates turn in to sugar once they are ingested. If you seem to get tired fequently you should probably talk to your doctor.

There could be any number of reasons contributing to fatigue.  I suggest you explore your day to day life before rushing off to the doctor or self diagnosing depression.  How active are you?  You may think that excercise will wear you out, but infact it does just the opposite.  Excercise realease endorphins which are the bodies very own, NATURAL, happy chemicals.  You will feel much more enegetic if you get 20-30 minutes of physical activity daily. [it doesn't have to be strenuous either... go for a walk, do some yoga, take the stairs, park further away from the buildings in which you are visiting, ride a bicycle, jump rope! Anything!]  Secondly, what kinds of food are you taking into your body on a daily basis?  Are you eating healthy food... or junk?  Sugar (sucrose) makes you tired for sure!  So if you have a sweet tooth and you nurture it generously, you will cause highs and lows in your blood sugar levels, which could lead to diabetis.  Any food that is natural to mother Earth will provide you with oodles of energy... but you can't just look at it, you have to eat it!  And as always, drink lots of water.  Start with your diet and excercise first and foremost. Lastly, make sure you are getting enough sleep.  You said you get 8 hours of sleep, but did you know that the body operates optimally if you are in bed for sleep  by (the latest) 10pm!  Your body should be in a state of deep sleep by the time midnight rolls around as the hours between 12am-3am are when your bidy undergoes repair.  It is very crucial that your body is given full range of hours to repair itself so it releases toxins and battles physical stress.  Also remember, too much sleep will make you tired just as too little sleep will make you tried.  Take the middle path and keep a positive attitude and most likely you won't need to waste your money on a doctor who will give you similar advise!

I think you are feeling so because of weakness , even I had such symptoms.\nYou need to have good breakfast , with veggies etc and less oil food. Then dont forget to have your lunch and dinner , add milk in your diet .\nAs your haemoglobin level increases , you wont feel gidiness.\ntry having cod liver oil with milk , that will help you gain good concentration and you will no more feel gidiness.

go have a food intolerance test done. you may find that you actually eating the wrong types of food, and thats whats making you feel so drained and lethargic. i was feeling like that a few months ago and it drove me insane, as i "thought" i ate correctly, went to gym, and am fairly healthy. went for the test and it showed that i had a sensitivity towards lactose and wheat. ive since cut those out of my diet and it most certainly has made a huge difference in my energy levels as my body was struggling to digest those food items.\n\nand my skin has actually improved too. i know thats not relevant, but there you go...

A lot of things can make you so tired. Lack of sleep is an obvious one. Stress can make you feel tired. Also, it may be a good idea to check your blood checked at the doctor's office. You could have mono or be anemic, low red blood cell count. That would cause you to be fatigued and feel sleepy. Try eating better as well because you could be lacking important vitamins.

There is a normal blood sugar level for your weight, but you should really listen to your body. If you are light headed and tired, you need to eat.  Honestly you should be eating six small meals a day (meals consist of a portion of protein and a portion of carbohydrates).  Portions are either the size of your fist (for carbs) or the palm of your hand (for meats and protein). \n\nCarbs should be fruits and veggies and whole grain breads, rice, and pasta.  Good protien sources are chicken, lean red meat, cold water fishes, and also some dairy (lowfat cottage cheese is my favorite!)\n\nYour body needs refueling every three to four hours, and you should also be drinking water constantly throughout the day.  Lightheadedness and being tired are also symptoms of dehydration.  Check our www.bodyforlife.com to learn more.

Do you know why you are tired?  Are you getting less sleep?  Are you experiencing more stress?  Are you getting enough exercise and eating a well-balanced diet?  If any of these are the culprit then sleep more, cut down on stress, exercise, eat a well-balanced diet.  If you don't feel any of these are the problem you may want to visit your doctor.  There may be an underlying medical problem.

There are many causes of being tired besides the obvious lack of sleep.  Not drinking enough water and not eating nutritious foods will make you tired.  That's an easy one to remedy.\n\nIf you know you are getting enough sleep and eating properly; you should visit a doctor and have blood tests done.  You could be anemic or have other issues with your lungs or heart.  Make sure your doctor takes the time to listen to your concerns and doesn't just tell you to get more sleep.
