Started for Energy...have LESS energy


Recommended Posts

R1D13 - Besides a girl scout cookie habit and pizza most Friday nights, I have always been a relatively healthy eater. I have a low BMI and work out 4 - 5 times/week. I decided to try Whole 30 because I've felt sluggish lately and wanted to feel the "tiger blood" feeling I've read about. I did have a physical first, and the only thing that came up was a B12 deficiency, so I've been on a supplement for months. Since about day 3, I am MORE tired that I have ever been. I actually had to lay down on the slopes yesterday in the middle of a ski day...not because I was hungover - obviously (ha!) I'm following the book to a T, other than no snacking. I will have some fruit/nuts mid afternoon with a shot of espresso, just to try to make it through the day. Is there light at the end of this tunnel?

Having no energy like this is usually a result of not eating enough overall.  If you want to post a few days of what you've been eating including portion sizes related to the template, specific veggies, fruits, fats and protein, fluid intake etc... we can take a look and see if there's something that stands out.

Just as an fyi, if you need to eat between meals, fruit and nuts are not your best choice.  Choose protein and fat instead - hardboiled egg and mayo, meatballs and guacamole etc...
