Nutrition Week 5:
At this point you should start feeling good. You either have already found your ideal fuel mix or are very close to finding it. You are also learning more about what food serves you and what is better to be avoided. Keep up this great work!
Than if that is still fine substitute your starchy carbohydrates with some grains.
Continue increasing your carbohydrate intake slowly, until you start experiencing some ‘old’ symptoms like fatigue, depression, mood swings, sweet cravings, digestion problems, etc. When that happens you will start decreasing your carbohydrates gradually until you start feeling well again. If you have any degree of uncertainty you can always start from the beginning.
Use your FINE TUNE sheet to mark how you feel after each meal. The more information you gather the easier it will be for you to understand when you overeat your carbs as well as identify foods that don’t serve you
Eat until you are full but not stuffed
Have snacks between meals of the same food choice
Drink plenty water: 2.5-3l/day is your target
