I'm dieting right now diet like the sticky, having a cheat day once per week or so, doing morning empty stomach ECA cardio.....the usuall really!
Problem is I feel like sh!t, tired, I have a hard time concertrating, don't feel like going to the gym, just burnt out...
Should I up my vits or minerals, maybe take some vit c or other antioxidants?
My meals are all pr/fat except for PWO and PPWO
try switching to ECY. i was doing the excact same thing and feeling the EXCACT same way you are when I was on ECA. I just recently got rid of the aspirin and added Yohimbine HCL to the stack and i feel great.
Try it. it may work for you.
Worth a try but I don't see why aspirin would make me feel shitty
me neither man but it worked for me. Maybe the Yohimbine gives me more energy.....everyones different though. I dont think the asprin will make you tired at all.Quote:

I'd go with a pro/carb meal in there. It won't hurt you at all, just compensate your macro's accordingly. . .
In where?Quote:

yup add more carbs meals drink tons of water take some more vit c
yohimbine gives me even worse headaches/mood when low carb.............
Put a pro/carb breakfast in there. Then have your three pro/fat meals and hit the weights then PWO nutrition to follow. Make breakfast a complex carb for sustained energy throughout the day. Most often, oatmeal is a great choice.Quote:

I am cutting now too and I do a pro/fat 45 minutes after my 1 hour AM cardio session and then a pro/carb 2 hours later. 3/4 cup of raw oats with splenda and water. That is it until PWO and PPWO.
You can still have the pro/fat meal after your cardio. Just have the pro/carb meal in the afternoon.Quote:

Maybe you are overtraining in the gym? When I felt like that, I took a week off from the gym not my diet, slept in and did nothing, then when I looked in the mirror and felt like a wuss it really motivated me to get back in there and I had a lot more energy.
