<p>After doing a great deal of research and reading Sarah Fragoso's book Everyday Paleo I finally started eating Paleo yesterday.... and today I feel awful!! I am totally committed and want to continue but I have zero energy and feel nauseous. Is this just my body adjusting to a low carb diet? Did anyone else experience this when they started? What should I do and how long does it last? I appreciate any feedback you can give me :)</p>

I am 5'6, 140 lbs, 21 years old. I used to work out 5-6 times a week but I haven't gone at all in the last 3 months.

I just totaled it in a phone app that I have and the total for yesterday was 1647 calories, 89 grams of fat, 88 net carbs, 55 grams sugar and 63 grams protein. I am using So Delicious full fat coconut milk, unsweetened. Before dinner I had 746 calories.

Breakfast: 1 Egg with 2 egg whites and a handful of zucchini slices 1 teaspoon sour cream Lunch: 1 Chicken sausage Half an avocado with 1 tablespoon olive oil Coffee with 1 teaspoon heavy cream Snack: 28 plaintain chips (That's the serving size) Dinner: 2 cube steaks 8 asparagus Smoothie: 1 banana, half a mango, handful of mixed berries, handful of spinach, coconut milk I'm trying to eventually cut out dairy, and I ate a bit too much fruit..but I did feel better after the smoothie. I think my blood sugar was low before I had dinner and the smoothie and that's why I wasn't feeling great.

I've worked out with a trainer for a few years but stopped while I was away at school. Typically, I would work out 5-6 days a week doing an 1-1.5 hrs of cardio and 30-45 minutes of strength training, but wasn't eating very healthy so I didn't get as thin as I would have liked, but I was in great shape. However, now that I'm starting to eat Paleo, do you think I won't have to work out as much to lose weight?

Thanks! What carbs do you think I should eat during the first few weeks?

Should I add in brown rice? What kinds of carbs should I eat while I'm still adjusting?

Your right, I think part of the problem was I went back to the gym today for the first time in a few months and I couldn't handle it the way I used to work out.

Terrible! Dorm food and eating out on the weekends. Is this just the low carb flu and I have to wait for it to subside?
