Help with lack of energy!

[crombie09]

Is there anything you have found that I can take daily for energy/good mood? I've seen some stuff on the net like "Trivita Energy Now" but I dont know if it will work. Im just working about 60 plus hours a week now and feel tired all the time. Anything you guys have found that helps? I've been getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night, Im going to try to get more.

Firstly, working that much and being tired may be a result of your calories being too low - have you figured out your BMR?

I still use ephedra based products for energy - I am on a strict, low kcal diet that requires an energy booster - have you used xenadrine or hydroxycut - or products similar?

...oh, I forgot to add, there are products you can get at supplement stores that will help with mood - such as St. Johns wart and 5-htp (raises seratonin levels). I haven't tried them personally but they may be worth a shot.

Sounds like a good case of Adrenal Fatigue, find some herbal supplements for the adrenal glands and pituitary. I take them and notice a huge difference from the days I dont take them.

I know Im eating plenty, maybe even too much. We make food runs throughout the day. I went to a whole foods the other day and they gave me some rhodilia root that come in liquid form, I dont really feel it working though.

I actually just woke up, I dont have to go into work till late today. I slept for about 11 hours. I feel great!

I'll go to whole food and see what they have for mood or adrenal fatigue and pituitary.

Try Holy Basil. It will help in balancing cortisol levels and can help with anxiety, mood changes. Also, try to get in some green tea or the capsule extract. Also yes, is your diet in check and getting enough cals and protein?? Also, are you still partying?? This can also cause fatigue, bigtime.

Everyone is telling me to try different stuff. Haha. Im not partying anymore, at all. I have a drink or 2 with a dinner when I go out to eat mabe once a week, if that. This job is probably good for me since I cant Im not able to go out like I used to.

Also whats your carb intake?

Re: Help with lack of energy!

Main thing is proper sleep, what you eat, other than protein and carbs, cals, etc., try to eat as much natural whole foods, raw and unprocessed is best, dark leafy veggies, fruits, whole grains, and beans, organic poultry, fish, lean meats. I would try to cut out drinking any kind of liquor all together.

So one or two drinks in an entire week is bad? Shit, I used to go out 3-4 times a week and get totally hammered so I think Im doing great.

First thing when you wake up in the morning, do a little stretching to get your blood flowing along with what everyone else said.

Seriously, if you calculate your total kcals per day and break it down into f/c/p - I would be interested in seeing if it is really as high as you think it is.
