So I've been doing Slimming World for nearly 6 months and I love the plan, I find it really easy to stick to, and now it doesn't really feel like a "diet" any more, I'm still eating well and enjoying what I eat.
But the past two weeks I've been feeling very lethargic, around 2/3 pm I start to feel tired/weak, normally feel a bit better after I've had my dinner at 5, but an hour or so later I'm back to feeling the same! I work in the evenings from 6-11pm, so this is becoming a bit of a problem. I bring some fruit to snack on in work but its not doing much to help?
I'm just wondering has anyone had a similar problem? I know SW isn't about counting calories but I counted a few recent days and I generally eat around 1700, give or take. I think I could possibly be low on iron but I eat lots of red meat and green veg so I feel like I should be getting enough. Or could it be some other deficiency?
I really hope this doesnt become an ongoing thing because my SW plan atm is working out so well for me I'd hate to have to do a major change now :/ But I'm gonna give it a week or so and if I'm still feeling tired I'm going to go to the doctor about it.
