Hello,
I have been suffering from adrenal fatigue with very low dhea levels and low cortisol. I am doing the dukan diet and have little energy again and don't feel great. Is this safe? I am losing weight.

Re: Adrenal fatigue and dukan
Forget that diet. The plans are expensive, it is high fat and has no limits on Salt.
It may work for some, but for others it really won't and apparently the personsalised messages Peirre Dukan sends out are in some cases just copied and sent to multiple people and I think some of the personalised plans are too and the customer service has to some extent been criticised.
You'd have more energy increasing Carbs, as I think the diet is low Carb, which I never agree with anyway, as Carbohydrates provide energy, regulate Blood Sugar and feed the brain, so moderate carb is a better way to go. Most people would be fine with a minimum of 30g per meal of mostly slow release.
