I found that it was hard to exercise after quitting, when I quit a few years ago for 3 months. I haven't tried since because I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen again and I want to exercise and be able to breathe. My husband and I are going to try to quit this week, so hopefully everything goes ok this time…

Welcome Lisa! Keep in mind that fruits and vegetables have carbs in them too. When you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, it adds up fast. I hope this was helpful. Also, you can adjust it to what you see fit for yourself, the number they gave you is just their recommendation. Good luck on your journey!

I'm sorry, i misspoke. I meant a combination of more complex carbs and protein would help.

Sometimes it's not the number of calories you consume, it's the origin of the calories. Shakiness and weakness could be a sign of low blood sugar. Try consuming more complex carbs, i.e. proteins. You can also try having a small snack before intense workouts, this may help, too. Good luck on the rest of your journey!
