kirkwood812 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Okay I know it seems obvious. I'm on day 9(at times it feels like day 99) and I just felt weak, tired, and in a fog for a good portion of the day. I get hungry and then eat, but I feel like I get hungry two hours later. Today I felt like I was going to pass out. I'm sure it is from not having enough carbs, but I don't know what to eat. I can't eat another sweet potato! (side note I'm also getting kind of sick of eggs for breakfast and hardboiled.) I know I just want the foods I can't have. I research food ideas and they sound great, but I also feel like I can't find food to eat. If I keep feeling weak and out of it like this I am going to have to stop because it isn't safe for work. Sorry if it seems like I just rambled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Please post a few days of your food and let us help you. It's not "obvious" -- because you shouldn't be feeling this way. You probably are not eating enough in general. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkwood812 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Today's food is probably not the best one to share but....Breakfast was hardboiled eggs, turkey, and a few pieces of mango Lunch with spinach with a sausage, coconut, peppers, carrots, and balsamic vinegar Dinner was spaghetti squash with sauce and turkey meatballs.

Brewer5 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Try following the Meal Template for the rest of your Whole 30: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf This is protein+fat+veggies at each meal. Fruit, nuts, and seeds are optional -- but the others are not. Fruit is to be in addition to your vegetables, not in the place of. Try not having fruit for breakfast and see how you feel. Your protein looks decent (although I don't know how many eggs we are talking), but you need to add a fat (homemade mayo spread on HB eggs is a favorite here) and you need to add vegetables. A starchy vegetable would be a far better choice than fruit, if you feel you need more carbs. Have some potato, sweet potato... have you ever fried green plantains? Another favorite here! So good. Overall, you are probably just not eating enough food. Try bigger meals, and following the template. I think you will feel better in no time.

Physibeth Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree...more food in general. A single sausage at meal 2 is probably not enough protein. There are lots of starchy vegetables out there especially at this time of year where winter squash is abundant. Acorn squash with coconut butter is amazing, butternut squash soup is lovely, etc. Others: beets, parsnips, carrots, delicata squash...lots of options.
