Day five

womanwithamission

I feel like I'm going to lose my ****!! Every time it's time to eat, like a child, I'm totally crazy!! Then I sit down and eat and all is good in the world again. It's not blood sugar, is more like rage!! Anyone else experience this?
On another note, going into my first weekend...scared and frankly I just want to climb into bed and wake up in 25 days. Dose this pass? Will things get better? When will I start to feel awesome?

Things will get better!! You are going through the carb flu. Rage, extreme sleepiness and grumpiness can all accompany this as well as cravings. Your brain is trying to trick you into giving up and giving in to your old way of eating. I had been following a primarily paleo diet since June and I even got exhausted my first week of the Whole 30; I felt like I never wanted to get out of bed. Let yourself rest. Listen to your body (but not your cravings). I would say I started to get over the hump on week 2. Once your body 'breaks up' with using sugar/carbs for fuel and starts running on fat, you will have much steadier and consistant energy, and your mood will be incredible!! This journey is different for everyone so it might take longer than others for you to feel the magic, but I promise you will! Add me for support if you'd like!
