Mistie Gleason Cottrill Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am on day 16 and I am feeling good, workouts are good, I feel like I can go 3-4 hours without meals and that is new but I am feeling bloated every night. Plus I feel exhausted mid afternoon everyday still. What can I do to help the bloating and to help being sooooo tired. The reason I really did this was to help with the afternoon tiredness, this has always been an issue for me. Here is my log and what I am up too. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/5913-mistie-and-the-husband-new-year-first-whole-30-and-ironman-training/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Mistie, couple of things: First, you only took Tom and my suggestion about the starchy carbs a day or two ago. I've noticed an uptick in quantity, but not a huge one. You have to give it more than a day or two to decide if a tweak has been successful for you. Secondly, I think you're low on food in the morning. I'm not sure if it's because you're training early, and that throws everything off, but I don't think it's enough. Your 2 egg breakfasts, even with all the other stuff, i feel could be more. Are two eggs all you can hold in your hand? I think you can probably get 3 in there. Eating more in the morning's going to hold you longer and definitely COULD affect your energy levels towards the end of the day. In regards to bloating, I have to tell you...Lara bars will destroy my gut within a few hours of eating them. Not necessarily bloating, but really painful cramping. I think it has to do with the nuts and the fructose from the dates. I know it was an emergency food for you today, but i'd really try to avoid them for the next week or so and see what happens.

Mistie Gleason Cottrill Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am getting 8 hours most nights. Thanks for your suggestions! Yes I saw Toms posts about cutting fat and am working to cut nuts 100%, I was so mad today that I had to eat the Larabar! I just feel worn out mid day!
