Honestly I rarely feel hungry, nor do I lose focus at work. I do feel a bit fatigued on my ride home some days, especially the last 5 km.

But I know dinner is there. On the way home my son is having his snack (dried fruit and seeds) and he shares (he is in a rear seat). He knows I love the dates and apricots which are a nice collection of sugars to get the last 5 km push home.

I am not say it is not tough, but the first week or two are the hardest, then it is just normal.
