My name is Kathy and I am from Australia (Adelaide).
I am currently training with a coach that does flexible dieting but am starting to wonder if it is suitable for Vegans? I find I am having to take a lot of protein powder (vegan) in order to hit my macros because I am cutting the carbs have dropped.
While I am enjoying the workouts and the gains/strength I have made, I am finding that I am waking in middle of night with stomach pain and nausea which is only eased by eating something carb heavy - like toast or rice cakes. As time goes on I am finding a definite lack of energy ( I do eat vegetables and fruit) and it is starting to impact on my life
Can any one give me some advice or what you would do in this situation? I am thinking I might need to switch to a Vegan trainer who understands vegan nutrition better.
