Hey stan, buddy, ok its been over 4 months
man and I have some really good feeling
days and I overall feel pretty durn good,
but im real real tired man. I feel like
sleeping all day and I cant shake it.
Showers dont work nothing works, I think I
need to go up on my carbs but im eating so
much already. I eat a butternut squash a
day just about. Im gonna do a search on
higher carb vegies, cause their has to be
a vegie with more than 8g per 1/2 cup I
mean I eat bout 6 times a day that means I
need to eat about 5 cups a day!!! Thats
so much squash everyday its rediculous.
And im still tired.

You know im thinking that maybe the reason
im so tired is im overdoing it. I eat
over 20g of protein per meal, I eat every
2 1/2 hours. I do a big spoonful of olive
oil and then about 10-12 nuts or so and
then 1/8 a butternut squash, followed by
lettuce and washed down with water. I
have yet to incorporate berries as they
scare me, but maybe I need to give em a
go.. I dunno.

Holy crap dude, way too much! You
should be getting no more than around 10g
of protein (excluding vegetables but
including meat) for each meal! You're
putting too much ammonia in your system
from the overdose of protein. 20g would
be if you were working out like every day,
which I assume you're not. That's way
too much. Keep the carbs around 100g and
the protein around 80g for the
entire day. I assume you're not
measuring anything out?

Cut the olive oil back to 1/2 a tablespoon
as well, it may be speeding up your
metabolism too much.

I measure a bit, but its not completely
accurate. I felt fine eating very little
this last meal so im gonna do the same
thing and see how that makes me feel.

Okay, keep trying that and let me know
what happens. Try to measure and make
sure you know how much you're eating per
day, don't just eat and say screw it.

I know when I first started out I would be
very tired. I noticed that when I eat to
many carbs ot starchy foods is when it
hits me. You definitely wanna keep your
carbs at 100g. I also eat alot of meat
but I dont get tired. Then again I work
out every day. But keep your head up man
you'll get it.

Yeah, definitely, if you're not working
out it's going to be pretty taxing on your
body to have all that protein in it. Cut
back and let us know what happens.

So far so good. It feels like I dont even
need to get 100g of carbs I eat right now
about ohhh 8-9 g per meal, but I do snack
a lil bit on almonds so that should be
about right. Ill let you guys know in a
week or so how its going.
