| It is pretty normal actually as you have likely reduced your carb intake pretty substantially. Try to find sources of the good carbs you can add in to help provide some more energy for your body. Milk (skim or 1%) has natural sugars that can provide a little boost and you are allowed up to 2 cups per day. Maybe make sure you have some with breakfast to help start your day. Also many of us here are big fans of beans/legumes. High in fiber and a good source of P1 carbs and you can have up to 1/2 cup per meal if you like. For example, I make a mix of black beans, chopped tomatoes and diced green or red bell pepper with a little salsa for a side dish for my lunch salad (reheated in the micro at work) and it helps keep me full through the afternoon. If you can find a way to work some kinds of beans in (black, chickpeas/garbanzo, navy, kidney, etc.) that may help you as well get through the first two weeks. Also make sure you are getting all your recommended vegetables as those have good carbs too. 1/2 cup for breakfast and 2 cups for lunch and dinner. If you manage it properly, it should help out and many find that as their bodies adjust they find they have more energy! |
