Tired in the afternoon

Hello all, I'm exhausted often since I started Whole30/Paleo. It always hits about 2pm and it does get better after dinner but only slightly. I tired to increase my fats (added avocado in breakfast and lunch). I have been at this for about 28 days. I would think I'm over carb flu by now. Any suggestions? I'll make sure my diary is open for advice.

    I think you are a little TOO low carb. Try adding some more healthy carbs and see how your body responds. Maybe add a piece of fruit or sweet potato to your daily diet. I've found that when I shoot for around 90 grams of carbs I feel better.

    I can't see your diary but for some people more carbs help. Me personally, I don't handle a lot of carbs well so if I am feeling low on energy I always up my fat intake A LOT. That always does the trick for me.
