š“ Managing Fatigue on the Total Diet
Starting a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) is a powerful step towards better health, but your body may need a little time to adjust. It is completely normal to feel tired or low in energy during the early days, especially as your body switches fuel sources.
The good news is that this feeling is usually temporary. Here are some simple and effective tips to help manage fatigue and support your energy levels.
ā
1. Stay Consistent
Make sure you are having 4 or 5 meal packs per day, as recommended by your plan. Each pack is carefully formulated to provide the essential nutrients your body needs.
āØ Do not forget ā you can also enjoy a high protein snack, such as our delicious crisps. These are a great way to stay on track while giving your body a little boost.
š§ 2. Hydrate Well
Drinking enough water is one of the best things you can do to support your energy levels. Proper hydration helps your body:
- Transport nutrients
- Flush out toxins
- Stay refreshed and energised
Aim for at least 2.5 to 4 litres of water daily, depending on your needs.
ā° 3. Space Out Your Meals
Try to spread your meals and snacks evenly across the day. This gives your body a steady supply of energy and helps prevent dips that can lead to fatigue.
