Re: [fast5] Low energy on Fast-5

Hi:  The same thing happens to me if I don't eat enough protein.  When ever my intake of protein is low, I get weak but even weaker after I eat and just a weird feeling and light headache.  I don't count calories.  I eat what the body wants and as long as I have my protein the energy is unbelievable, hardly any unger.  I also have my good intake of fiber.  Let's see what others have to say. 

Good Luch!

Subject: [fast5] Low energy on Fast-5

 

Hi all,

This is my first post, so sorry for the long rant.

I have a problem I hope someone can shed some light on. But first a bit of background. I'm 42, 5'6" and 148lb and healthy (as far as i know! no diabetes, normal lipids, BP etc etc) so not overweight, but I'm trying the Fast-5 WOE as a way to lose a little bit of the belly flab and "love handles".

12months ago I shifted to a paleo/low-carb diet and have had great results with it. I've had way more energy and have had great improvements in my general health and well-being by eliminating wheat. I discovered that I have a sensitivity to gluten (not celiac) as lots of issues cleared up when I stopped eating wheat.

I've seen a lot of intermittent fasting going on in the paleo community so I thought I'd give it a shot. The Fast-5 method seemed the way to go as it fit my lifestyle. I started Fast-5 cold turkey on 24th Nov. It all started well and I love the way I'm starting to look as I can see some real improvements around my mid-riff which is what I wanted - BUT...I hate the way I feel!

i've started on a window of about 12noon-7pm as it works for me, so I basically have lunch and dinner. I find it very hard to go much further than 12 noon as I start to feel nauseous and shaky and just have to eat. I've been on this for about 2 weeks and most days I seem to get a "crash" of sorts after my break-fast meal at 12noon. I get really really tired and lethargic and I don't pick up till after i have my dinner at about 6:30pm.

It's very debilitating especially at work having to be on the ball in meetings etc. I love the way I'm starting to look, but hate the way i feel. Anyone got any ideas??

Thanks in advance...

Cheers
David
