energy question P1

Hi Everyone,


The posts here are very informative.  I just learned that I am not getting enough dairy.  Anyhoo, I am on Day 4 of South Beach P1.  I did South Beach several years ago and lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. 


When I go to the gym after work, I find that I have WAY LESS energy than before doing South Beach.  I suspect it's from lowering my carbs.  I am fairly sure I am eating enough.  Are there any foods I can incorporate to up my energy?  I worry that I may be eating too many nuts too.  I am tempted to add in carbs to get me through my 30 min cardio routine but I don't want to.  Since starting on Monday, I have lost 2 pounds and want to keep it going.


Thanks!

Nicole

Hi Nicole and welcome back!


It is normal to see a lack of energy in phase 1. Some here found it necessary to cut back on exercise until their energy level returned.

Nicole,


Are you sticking to the recommended serving sizes?
