Adjustment period?
So, years ago I had success with this diet and lost a considerable amount of weight easily. The scale has crept back up so I've been trying again to get back into it for the last week and I'm running into a problem - I'm exhausted and brain dead, starting about 2pm. It gets bad enough that I need to eat a piece of fruit or something to get some semblance of brainpower back and actually perform at work (thus defeating the point of the diet). I'm eating 2-3 cans of beans a day and drinking a lot of water and enough sodium. I'm not "hungry" at all but I'm mentally useless. I think I'm getting enough fats and protein, and I don't think I can eat any more beans without floating away in agony. Is it an adjustment period to lower blood sugar? Should I wait for a bit before adjusting course?
