Most people will feel more energetic after improving their diets and adding physical activity.
If someone is feeling too drained to function or is suffering from their plan, they’re either working out too much for their current fitness level or they’ve restricted calories too much.
It’s more important to focus on small, sustainable changes. The people who try to go from couch potato to CrossFit hero or who try 1000-Calorie restrictive diets are the people who burn out and give up. The people who start by walking 10 minutes per day and slowly increase their activity or who begin by cutting out 50 calories per day are the ones who see long-term progress.
