I'm Feeling a Bit Weak and Tired in Week One, I Don’t Think I Can Do This DietUpdated a month ago

💙 You’re Not Alone
Feeling a little weak or tired during your first week on a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) is completely normal. Your body is simply adjusting to a new way of fuelling itself, and this phase usually passes after just a few days.

We like to think of it as your body’s reboot — a short reset before the real transformation begins.


How to Feel Better and Power Through

💧 Keep Your Magic Elixir Flowing
Drink between 2.5 and 4 litres of water daily to stay hydrated and help your body flush out toxins. Water supports your energy, focus and fat burning — it is your ultimate transformation companion.

🍽️ Stick to All Your Packs
Make sure you are having all of your recommended meal packs each day. Each pack is carefully designed to give you the essential nutrients your body needs to function well and stay strong.

Space Out Your Meals
Try to spread your meals evenly throughout the day to keep your energy levels steady and avoid dips in motivation.

🍍🍓 Add a Little Boost – Pineapple or Berry
Feeling sluggish? Our Pineapple Boost and Berry Boost drinks can provide a gentle, natural lift with:

  • Naturally sourced caffeine
  • Green tea to support fat burning
  • Chromium to help manage blood sugar and reduce cravings

These tasty boosts help improve focus and metabolism, all without the crash.
(Enjoy in moderation and speak to your healthcare provider if you have any health concerns.)


💪 This Will Pass – You’ve Got This
The first few days can feel like a challenge, but your body is adapting, and you will soon feel more energised, focused and in control.

And always remember:
You are never alone on this journey.
We are here to support you, cheer you on and help you succeed every step of the way.
