DDay25 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hey everyone. I'm currently on day 11 and I have been having low energy. I hear everyone talk about high energy levels and even some of my friends that have done it say they have increased energy. I'm wondering if it's taking longer since I have done a huge diet change. I'm coming from drinking little water, having 3 energy drinks a day (I work graveyard shift), tons of fast food, and a lot of dairy and carbs. My sleeping hasn't changed much as I've been on graveyard shifts for a couple years now. Here's a glimpse of my meals. Not everything but just as a reference. M1: Black coffee, eggs, compliant sausage, mushrooms, spinach M2: (usually at work) Salad with spinach, carrots, celery, cucumber, compliant dressing. Apple, celery and carrots, sometimes blueberries. Some sort of meat (chicken, pork, beef). I eat all these throughout my shift I usually only have 2 meals as I work till 7am and then go home and go to sleep. I workout a couple times a week and have been drinking plenty of water and tea. Any input and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2020 Days 10 & 11 are often the hardest days of the 30, but typically things turn around in the next few days for most people. Check out the timeline: https://whole30.com/revised-timeline/ It's hard to say based on how you've listed this if you're getting enough food. The recommendation is to have three meals a day that match the meal template. No matter how you split those meals up, try to make sure you're eating that amount of food over the course of a day.

Elliottsmama Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 You're not eating enough, and it doesn't look like you're adding fat to your meals. Make sure you have enough fat, and try to do a 3rd meal. You should also try adding in a starchy carb like sweet potato or potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
