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...

I had that problem once and it was my caffine intake. I was drinking so much soda that it made me tired in that way. Not sure what your habits are but try drinking water. Its incredible how great it makes you feel if you drink enough. Try water for a week or so.

Here are some pro-active things you can do. Hope this helps!\n\n"GET OUT OF BED: \n\nOne of the most important things you can do is get up at about the same time every morning (even week-ends). Preferably, that means about 7 a.m. or earlier. You might not feel like it but Get Up. Such regularity helps your body function more normally so you're more likely to feel normal. \n\nLIGHTS: \n\nLight helps your body function better. So turn on a lot of lights as soon as you arise. Open curtains to get more sunlight. Better yet, go outdoors into the sunshine as soon as you can. Remove any eyewear so light will enter more readily (glass cuts out some of the sun's rays). But don't stare at the sun, of course. \n\nMOVE: \n\nBe active right away -- oxygenate! That means getting up and walking around your dwelling for five or 10 minutes, or perhaps riding an exercycle. Mild exercise gets the blood flowing and transports more oxygen throughout your body (especially to your brain), helping you feel mentally alert and alive. \n\nMUSIC: \n\nSelect and play some energetic, happy music as you dress and have your breakfast. The audiovisual department of most libraries has albums and tapes you can check out. \n  \n\nBREAKFAST: \n\nBegin your breakfast with protein (i.e., meat, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, cheese). When you get up, your body chemistry is ready to convert food, especially protein,into longlasting energy. To balance your most important meal of the day, add an orange or other fresh fruit and whole grain cereal or whole grain bread. \n\nTALK WITH SOMEONE: \n\nOne of the quickest ways to beat the blues is to interact with others. You might not feel like doing that - you'd rather avoid people when blue. So make lt easier on yourself. Talk with someone you enjoy about a subject you enjoy so there is definite give and take. \n\nAnd, force yourself to say "hello" to the persons next to you in class, those where you live, anyone around. \n\nLIMIT CAFFEINE: \n\nThe long-term (four hours or so) effects of caffeine are depression. Try to limit coffee to no more than one cup in the morning. Coffee can make you more alert for an hour or so, but later you get an opposite reaction. Caffeine tends to increase the release of insulin in the blood, and insulin lowers the blood sugar level. When you have low blood sugar levels, you begin to feel less sure of yourself, and have low energy levels, which can lead to the blues or depression. \n\nLIMIT SUGAR: \n\nSugar might give you an initial rush of energy, but within an hour or so the blood sugar level can become low, and when it's low you may feel low, too. \n\nThe caffeine/sugar cycle. It's easy to get caught in the caffeine and sugar cycle -- having coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, or something with sugar every two hours or so to "stay up." For example, cola contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar plus caffeine equal to about half a cup of coffee. In addition to bringing on the blues, this cycle can result in dependence, poor nutrition. and obesity -- reasons to get down on yourself even more and feel blue. \n\nMAINTAIN FIBER: \n\nFiber helps food go through your digestive system at a proper rate, giving a more constant energy supply. Highly processed foods merely provide a quick surge of energy which can be followed by depression. You can maintain fiber in your diet by eating an orange or grapefruit rather than just drinking the juice. Eat fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grain breads and cereals. \n\nSTRESS B COMPLEX: \n\nSome persons report receiving help by taking a concentrated vitamin B complex. You'll find these called something like "Stress B" or "B 50." This is controversial. \nSome nutritionists say, "Yes, this really should be considered," and others say, "No, this is not a good Idea." You can try some and decide whether or not it helps you. If it does help, then perhaps you should consult a nutr

you aren't getting the nutrition you need. Start off with a big breakfast and some exercise, and you will feel better throughout the day. Or maybe you are not getting enough sleep at night. It could be many different things. Take a look at you habits lately, and see what the problem might be. I don't know you and your life so it is hard to say...

You should really get a good vitamin, If you are taking a vitamin you need to get one that works. The reason your body is so tired all the time is because your body isnt getting what it need to be NOT tired. The Human Body is not supposed to be tired. Because of the foods we eat these day, we are not getting the nutrient because the food lacks the vital minerals and nutrients need for normal healthy life. You may need to change your diet as well.If your eating too much your body expends a lot of energy to digest it, then you get tired. If you eat too little your body doesn't have the energy to do everyday functions properly.\nCheck out this website below it talks about this in greater detail and has a great vitamin called Vibe.\nP.S. you shouldn't take a vitamin in pill form, it has glues and other binders to keep in the shape it in and you get very little nutrients from it because ot that.\nEmail me if you have other questions.\n\nhttp://www.enivamembers.com/?id=brandon

Watch not only what you eat (of course staying away from junk food or junk sodas, anything that's high in sugar and low in vitamins and minerals) but also watch how much you eat. Eating slowly will help with this. Don't eat so much that you feel like you need a nap. After eating, if you can, do something active like taking a walk; anything to get your body moving. Do things that are fun on a regular bases too helps, like going to any type of park or being around kids. If you want some tips on proper food, you should check out weight watchers or jenny craig and websites like theirs.

If you're working at a graveyard in the dark, you should take vitamin D. There's vitamin D in sunshine that you need.\n\n    If that's not the case, try changing your diet to healthier foods and taking a multivitamin with C, D, and E. If you still feel weak, you might want to try an iron pill. Be sure to eat before taking iron.\n\nGood health,\n\nM

I know this might seem hard to do with your busy schedule, but exercise will make you feel so much better. Also drink water, and energy bars that contain lots of protein. Get all of your nutrients from your daily meals. Never skip a meal.

Have you been exercising consistently?  If you are just starting out, then you will feel exhausted for a couple of weeks.  Your body will adapt.  And even though you eat well, you should take a good multi-vitamin.
