This is day 11, p1, I work out often, not today though,
I noticed that I have been feeling tired, and I have been
sleeping a little bit more, is this common?
I have lost 5lbs, and doing the diet accordingly.

yes, it's normal what you're feeling.
Please increment your water intake and your proteins.
Add some beans to your menus.
You will be feeling better in P2.

Hang in there,

I had the same problem on days 3 and 4, but I added more beans and carbs before my work outs, and the eenrgy came back.
Just besure not to over do it with the carbs.

I too am feeling terrible. I am on day 3 of P1. I don't even have the strength to workout or do anything. Normally I have a lot of energy. What kinds of carbs can I add to feel better and to especially make this headache go away? :(

I've been feeling awful since yesterday. I'm now on Day 5 Phase 1, and although I felt a little better earlier, I feel terrible again. Really drained and exhausted :(

I've been assured that this will pass, but right now I feel REALLY ill :(

I'm on day 3 of P1 as well and I was OK Monday and Tuesday but today I felt completely exhausted! Let's all hang in there- it will pass and we will be so happy with the results!

I've posted this here before, but it 's good info and may help you:

This posted by KarylA on prevention.com for SBD:

"Beans are a very good thing for people in phase 1 to eat on probably day 3 or 4. This is for a couple of specific reasons and I will outline a few of them.
One: glycogen(stored muscle energy) is depleted by doing phase 1 very strictly, because the veggies are low GI and you are not eating grains, so you need a slow release carb.
Two: fibers, soluble and insoluble, are needed in all phases for proper digestion and utilitzation of nutrients, and beans have plenty of it.
Three: nutrients in beans are different from other foods, and we need a lot of variety in nutrient input.
So, please, if you think you are feeling unwell on phase 1 and getting lethargic, headachy, etc. try some beans. Don't have to eat a lot of them! just a half cup will do a lot of good. If you can do that twice in a couple of days, phase 1 will be much easier

Yes, you frequently tend to feel like cr*p on Phase 1. Some of us even wind up throwing up in spite of beans and water. I felt horrible and nearly passed out in a class.

Phase 2 is a lot better.

I have been on SB since july 22 and have yet to have any energy. I eat beans almost daily..I do suffer depression although that seems to be better. Just no energy, i have never really had energy even as a kid, and yes have been through all tests possible to test. Have lost 45 pounds, only 25 on the beach though, the other i lost before i started the beach.
