madiepea Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'm currently on Day 19 and for the past 4-5 days I've noticed my energy is really low. I'm tired all the time, my workouts have been lackluster....I've been sleeping just fine so I'm confused as to why I feel this way. I've been getting plenty of good fats and proteins and vegetables into each meal and I've been doing pretty well with the 3 meals a day thing (with a snack here or there if I need it). Anyone else experiencing this? I'd appreciate any advice/thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck gal Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I had low energy for the first 3 weeks. I had to play with increasing my protein, healthy fat and good carbs. It is always suggested to try sweet potato. Well this is exactly what has helped me. I always include a half a sweet potato with other veg at meal 1. I made them as shredded hashbrowns or included them in my quiche. It helps me through the whole day. In the last week of my Whole30 I had energy all day and no trouble getting to the gym. Everything came together. I'm now on day 33 and still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I agree with canuckgal...it sounds like your carb intake might be too low and you need some more starchies. Posting some example days would help with other possible issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtknitgirl Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I a. On day 29 with the same low energy. I am thinking of going for 30 more days. But I am concerned about my energy level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
