The superhero blues
I gave up sugar, white flour, and processed foods a little over 2 wks ago (trying to follow Superhero plan) and have been feeling really tired, way more than usual. Also, haven't been cranky as much as really down in the dumps which is unusual for me. Anyone experiencing something similar? Hope this is just the detox phase....
I also had big swings for the first 4 weeks.  Some days tons of energy, and others I just was exhausted.  But I am now 6 weeks in and am feeling much more consistently great.  Hang in there - the first month is tough!
Thanks Katherine. I needed to hear that today!
Still having  swings, too, hang in there...

It is hard to eat consistently super hero, but soooo worth it.  Actually I was one of the lucky people that did not have any de-tox symptoms.  However.... I feel like doo doo today because I have been letting myself backslide a bit this week with the dreaded white stuff; sugar, not cocaine, LOL  Though they are hard to tell apart in my system!  Hang in there, and fight the good fight.  You will feel great.
