Either that or you didn’t drink enough water, that’s a big issue. If it’s the former, try eating around 300 or so calories, enough to satisfy you but not until you’re completely full. Then try going for a run. Or, you can start out walking for around fifteen minutes to get your metabolism kicked up.Good luck 🙂
