kebenson Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hi, I'm on day 27 and have noticed that I have lower energy levels (very la ti da) when i run in the mornings before work. I've reduced my running due to energy and needing to rest my knee. I'm running slower than normal but I am ok with this because I am heathier. I noticed my decrease in energy earlier in the program and and added a snack after working out. When I run in am I eat this: prew 1 boiled egg spoon of almond butter postw 1 boiled egg/half a clean sausage and a couple bites of sweet potato (today I did probably a 1/4.) breakfast 2 eggs/pumkin almond butter, little coconut oil (30 minutes after postw) Even with adding this extra snack I feel lazy and low energy. Any ideas? I'm guessing add more starches?? But I'm about 5'2 and weight 164 so the book suggests not eating carbs afterworkout. So, that's why I haven't included more of them. Thanks for your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted November 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2012 I lost weight while eating a whole sweet potato almost daily. I ate them because I liked them and because they were convenient. Maybe I would have lost weight faster, but I felt good along the way and fully achieved my goals. I was 6'2 and around 200 pounds. My guess is you would benefit from eating more starchy vegetables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
