Make Up Those Calories
We've been fielding a lot of questions lately about going gluten free, and how many people are feeling bad/week/lacking energy. While weight loss/gain/management isn't always influenced by calories in/calories out, you need to keep up your caloric intake to sustain your level of activity.
If you're cutting out a big portion of your diet (bread, pasta, tortillas, etc), you need to replace those calories. If you don't, you're not going to feel very good, and you'll perform even worse! What do you replace that gluten with? Why veggies, of course! You might also want to consider increasing your fat intake. Both fat and carbohydrates are fuel sources for your body. Keep up those levels to feel good and full of energy!

1 week of Whole30 down - no cheats, except the fact that I’ve stepped on the scale (lost 5 pounds!). Energy level is coming back up, thanks in no small part to Jesse, who told me to “Eat more.”
