Is this a typical reaction on a low-carb plan ?
I've been low-carbing for almost 2 months. In the bad old days of high carbs I used to get raveneously hungry around 4-5 pm. Apart from the hunger pangs, I was fine though.
However lately, instead of getting hungry I get this huge HUGE energy down. I feel like a car that has just run out of gaz. The other day I was about a mile from home and literally felt so worn out, I didn't think I could walk back home before re-fueling. Looking for something quick to eat I found a store that carried atkins bar (well it was an emergency). Ate that and washed it down with a bottle of water and felt ok.
Everyone says Low-carbing gives you more energy. It seems the reverse to me. Am I doing something wrong ? Are there supplements I should be taking ? Any opinions out here ?
