Hi I am giving this diet another shot. I was just reading in the archives a cut and paste from cl-itsme Susan on low energy and heavy legs. That is what happened to me on day seven last time. I could barely make it through my circut workout at Ladies Workout Express. I ended up diving back into really bad carbs the next day (danishes, birthday cake, white rice....etc) and now I feel worse than ever! I also feel like a big LOSER!!!! I went back to drinking 3 or 4 cups of coffee a day also. I noticed in the cut and paste that Dr. Agatston says you can eat some pumpernicle bread, whole oatmeal or yogurt before a workout. I am confused. I thought grains were forbidden in phase 1. Please tell me what is the right thing to do when I feel like I have no energy. I need to function at work! I have a stressful job working with emotionally disturbed teens. I also walk up and down stairs all day averaging about 2.5 miles at work. This week is a good week for me to get back on track because of spring break and I don't have to work. I started this morning I ate: egg beater omelet with onions, spinach and garlic and 1/4 cup fat free cheddar cheese, 2 slices of turkey bacon. I woke up famished from binging on milky ways and icecream last night! I was really hungry again about an hour later so I had a cup of no caffiene herb tea and 1 Tbsp of natural peanut butter. So far, so good. I hope to feel a little better tomorrow and cut back to one cup of coffee per day like I did last time. I now weigh about 168. My goal weight is 130. I am really tired of gaining and losing the same 5 pounds over and over. If anyone has been through the extreme fatigue thing, made it past that point and now feel great, I would sure like to here from you! Thanks!
