: Hi,

: I am new to doing PFP (on week 2) and
: am on step one. I really don't eat
: any sugar due to the last few
: years of following an eating
: plan....but right now my focus is
: on step one.

: My question is, since adding protein
: to breakfast (and lunch and
: dinner) I have been feeling really
: tired after I eat, sort of weak
: and low energy. Is this normal?
: are there ways to combat this? I
: also am eating a ton more food at
: each meal and feel ravenous before
: I eat.

: I think I am doing a good job of
: eating a balance of brown/green
: carbs and protein. (I don't eat
: any processed flour and am Gluten
: free due to allergies, so all my
: carbs are in their whole form ei:
: oats, brown rice, quinoa etc...)

: Is the exhaustion just a result of
: adding the extra protein? and does
: anybody have any suggestions for
: fixing it?

: Thanks,
: Maggie

Did you cut back on what little sugar you were having?
