I am always tired throughout the day and I can NEVER get up when my alarm clock goes off without hitting snooze.

I have been eating a more balanced diet for a while now and working out 3 or so times a week but I am still just as tired as when I was fat and lazy just sitting around playing PC games. Any ideas to help me out?

maybe your not getting enough sleep..?

If I get 8 hours or more then I feel tired throughout the entire day. It sucks.

If you just recently changed your diet by eliminating sugary foods and simple carbs, your body is telling you that it's on to your little game. You'll get used to your new diet in a few weeks or months...

Also, regular exercise will help boost your energy.

If your not already taking one a good multivitamin might help.

i got the same problem as you dude, its really frustrating.

Is Centrum "good"?

i had that b4 i went to canada this xmas. i wasnt eating enough. maybe add some more food in ur diet?

because now that i am on my bulking diet im always full of energy.

No. lots of fillers, and the thick outer shell is craptastic.

I would look for NOW, Nature's Way, Paragon...anything low or lacking a long list of 'inactive ingredients'.


Post your diet. I suspect the way you eat is causing lots of drops in blood sugar, making you lethargic, likely too many starchy/simple carbs, or not enough food.

what are your workouts like? any way you can add some more exercise on the other 3-4 days a week?

Assuming you don't over train or over exert yourself (say, 30-45 mins of activity per day), exercise actually increases metabolism and energy.

Here is my diet diary.

I just started it today but that is kind of a normal type diet I have been on lately.

wow.. ur definatly not getting enough food bro! eat up :-O

Not done for the day yet! (still too low?)

Not eating enough. Breakfast sounds about right, but WTF are you waiting until 1pm to eat again? you should be munching again around 10-10:30am.
Your first snack is starchy, processed carbs, and no protein.
Lunch sounds great, except the whole lack of protein.
Dinner was fine, but stop buying your daughter chicken nuggets.

Ditch McDeath altogether in fact.

Yep, not enough protein, and that looks light on the calories for a man, or a woman.
