Okay, I know zilch about WW and haven't lost weight intentionally in about 20 years, but that ravenous depleted feeling is something I know about. Sometimes it could even last three days.

For me, it's all about recovery nutrition.

If I force myself to eat 200-250 calories immediately after a long hard effort - when the idea of food still nauseates me - then I don't get that long-lasting depleted feeling. Apparently, that's my muscles and/or liver screaming for glycogen. If I make sure to deposit some in the bank when my body's primed to receive it, that doesn't happen to me.

Are you being conscientious about your recovery nutrition?
