I just started using a post-workout whey shake (no carbs) and it makes me feel really unfocused and lightheaded soon after I drink it. When I eat an hour later, the weird feeling eases a little but doesn't go away completely for awhile. Does anyone else feel like this after their post-workout shake? Is this normal or should I switch back to whole foods? It sucks going to class after the gym feeling all foggy...

Thanks
-sarAH!

Nope. I'm doing a Beverly Plan and I'm cycling Muscle Provider pwo for 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off...

so...are you saying that having carbs with the shake would help with the effects of the insulin spike instead of making them worse? (I feel like a walking science experiment and I never know what is going to fix the problem and what is going to magnify it...)

Gopro-
Thanks for your help - I drank my shake really slowly today and then had some strawberries with my next meal soon afterwards and it went much better.
On an unrelated topic - I was searching the archives and came across the eating like a caveman thing and was wondering if you are still following that plan and how it is or was working for you...
Thanks again,
sarah
