Moderators ShannonM816 Posted November 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2017 It's pretty normal to be a bit tired the first few days. You might check out the timeline for more of what you might experience throughout your Whole30: https://whole30.com/2013/08/revised-timeline/ That said, the most common things that cause people to be more tired than they should be would include: not eating enough in general, and in particular enough fat -- be sure to check out the meal template (https://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf), make all your meals match that, and add a serving or two of fat in addition to what you cook in; not drinking enough water -- aim for at least 1/2 oz per pound of body weight, so a 120 lb person needs at least 60 oz; and not salting your food. If you're doing all of these things, then just rest when you can and know that it'll get better. If you're not sure your meals are quite right, you can list a day or two of what you're eating, including approximate portion sizes as they relate to the meal template, as well as any exercise you might be doing and what you're doing for pre- and post-WO meals, and we can give you more specific feedback.
