When I first met with Diana, I had been following a fairly strict Paleo/Primal diet and had lost roughly 50 pounds. I was very happy with my weight and in general my health had improved tremendously. Sleep was spot on; mood was elevated; intestinal issues subsided but I lacked energy. When 3:00 pm would roll around I was still in need of a caffeine jolt and I could only workout for 10 – 15 minutes before becoming completely drained. After reviewing my food log and lab tests, Diana had me increase both my carbohydrate (sweet potatoes, beets, potatoes) intake and also increase my fat intake, healthy fats of course. She also recommended certain supplements to help address some underlying issues. My energy came soaring back and the need for the 3:00 fix disappeared. My energy level also stays constant throughout my workouts and I’ve achieved some new lifetime personal records at the age of 46. But here’s the crazy thing, I lost 10 more pounds.
