Saw Nutritionist and RN today - Interesting Info to share
This is very helpful -- I'm pre-op (surgery in January) but I've hired a personal trainer to begin to work with me starting in the third week of October. I didn't even think about how working out would affect how much carbs I would need (although now that I think about it, it's kind of obvious). I'll remember this for post-surgical workouts. I'm sure my trainer would have suggested tweaks to my diet if I was having issues (as would the NUT) but I really appreciate you sharing this!

What a great jump-start you're getting. Congrats to you!
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
It has now been a few days and doing perfect now.
Adding a 1/4 cup of Kashi go lean cereal to my greek yogurt, increasing my yogurt as another snack after working out, and adding a 1/3 of a carb serving to my dinner meal has made me feel 100% better. I no longer feel tired and dizzy and I actually have been sleeping better. I also have less cravings for sweet things too.
For myself this balanced meal approach is working out so far and I am grateful to the dieticians advise. Before I felt like I was just always running on empty and I was so tired.
Very pleased that this was an easy fix.
