That old weakness problem...

It is probably your transition into ketosis. However, you should make sure
you are getting at least 1200 calories per day.

This is very typical for those new to LCing. What plan are you following,
what do you weigh, how many carbs are you eating, are you a man/woman, and
are you exercising?

Give it more time...it takes different amounts of time for different people

Your body must adjust to not having lots of carbs to fuel its activity. It
must now run mostly on fat and protein.

I'm following Atkins, weigh 219lbs, eating around 20-30g of carbs,
male and exercising (walking, until it gets to cold and then back to
the gym) 4 to 5 days a week.

So you don't think I need to take any supplements? Or is that a
given..?

Well, you may find it helpful to slowly raise carbs a bit after induction.

I'd take at least a multivitamin. I'm not sure that will help with the
weakness, however.
