i don't have some diet,but i choose what i eat,i have some fat but nothing serious,sometimes i am running.

If you eat food that is good for you then that will give you energy. I take supplements sometimes, it is for something not related to dieting, they give me tons of energy because they are good for my body. If you skip breakfast, or eat something like donuts for breakfast, if you eat a poor lunch like hamburger and fries, and at dinner you eat just whatever, food without greens and grains, no water, or protein, your energy is going to be weak all the time and so is your emotional level. If you wake up and drink a big glass of water, eat a couple eggs and toast, you will already be fueled with tons of energy. At lunch eat a turkey sandwich on 7-grain bread and lite mayo and mustard. It tastes really really good and at dinner heat up a can of beans and grill some chicken or steak. Fill yourself up on water all day and tea. After a week you are going to feel so much better and the best part is it tastes really good and you will be happier too. Right now I have tuna I stirred with a hard-boiled egg in my bag and a banana on the side. It is so healthy and I keep thinking about eating it because it tastes so good but I don't want to eat it before I really feel starving or I will get too hungry later. Everyday I walk to the library which is 30minutes one way so I get no less than 1 hour walking a day and sometimes more up to 2 hours a day. I always have energy and I always feel good. I never feel tired and I only have depression because it is clinical not physically related but mental. It gets worse when I do not take care of myself and I feel great all the time. I have not even been feeling depressed just kind of frustrated sexually and that has nothing to do with this. Of course you can eat a burger and fries once in a while just don't make it a daily habit and you do great. You are supposed to have fat in your meal plan and it is important not to deny your body the foods you love often that is actually just as unhealthy.

Please don't eat wheat bread or grains containing Gluten. It acts as a psychotropic drug, and makes you crave more unhealthy wheaty-glutenous foods.

Ever feel really tired after eating a big bowl of pasta? Case in point.

If you want to eat truly healthy you will eliminate the immune response stimulating foods such as cows milk, wheat, industrialized produce (pestacide and larvacide containing food), stick to organic, and try to avoid Soy as well.

Eliminate desserts, fast food, soda, processed foods, etc.

Eliminate simple sugars, which cause insulin spikes and put stress on your pancreas, and drink plenty of water.

If you want to supplement with something that will help in both Penis Enlargement and energy levels, try Maca powder.

I have never head that before. I think pasta is made from starch like white bread, and that is filled with carbs....well whatever the case I feel its important to eat food that is not bad for you AND fun to eat. When it gets to complicated or not taste yummy people tend to ignore eating right.

I am a certified nutritionist, amateur bodybuilder and LPN (licensed practical nurse) and have been closely related with educating the community on health and wellness for over over 5 years.

Please refer to this post for a lesson about carbs and wheat in specific.

How about those 5 hour energy drinks? They are supposed to have less sugar and give you a super boost of energy?

There are so many additives and chemicals in them, I just see them as more toxic than helpful. Basically, what gives you the energy is the caffeine, and your adrenals can become desensitized so such stimulants, after using caffeine over a long period of time your body needs more and more to have the same effect. It's like any other drug.

Last thing you want to do is bring adrenal failure onto yourself, that leads into a variety of other issues.

Yeah I gotta agree with you on this one.
 
How about a Pre workout drink?

I take a pre workout supplement called Jack 3D. You can purchase it at any GNC store.
It give me a lot more energy and I feel like I can push through sets a lot faster.
Tho, with this supplement it gives you a warm face and your arms tingle.

I have been reading on another product called C4 extreme. It also has been getting good reviews.

That stuff is the shit. Been using that for almost 8 weeks now.
 
I'll say it again, simple sugars, refined sugars, any artificial sweeteners induce a toxic effect on your body, which puts stress on your immune system, pancreas, and digestive track.
 
The Paleo/Primal approach to eating and exercise might do the trick. I know it really helped me in pretty much all areas health related. Check out robbwolf.com or marksdailyapple.com and you'll get all the info you need about it should you decide to give it a shot. Oh, and I totally agree with sizerp on the avoiding gluten-containing grains (actually, I would say ALL grains and legumes).
 
Hey Sizerp,
How about organic cow's milk?
What's ur opinion on that? I put it in my protein shakes for bodybuilding.

Hey Sizerp,
How about organic cow's milk?
What's ur opinion on that? I put it in my protein shakes for bodybuilding.

To be honest, 80% of the protein found in cow's milk is comprised of casein, which acts like a glue in the gut and is very difficult to digest. It can cause bacterial overgrowth, and most cow's milk has been denatured meaning most of the actual nutritional value has been demolished by a heating process.

Bodybuilding is a passion of mine, and have a dairy/gluten free diet. If your shake is whey protein, and has trace elements of lactose or milk, then I would say you'll be fine. However, outright consuming cow's milk products like cottage cheese, 2%/skim out of the carton etc can be very detrimental to your digestive integrity. As bodybuilders we really depend on our digestive function to sculpt our body the way we see fit. Without a smooth operating system we risk developing an array of issues ranging from auto-immune disorders to bacterial overgrowth.

Make sure you eat healthy! My first piece of advice is, buy a juicer!

You have no idea how important micro-nutrients are in combination with your macro diet. Try drinking 1-2 quarts of fresh veggie/fruit juice a day. (Mixed fruits and veggies). Just go to town, you'll feel more aware, and it'll help cleanse your internal organs which play a huge role in development of muscle!

All too often, people don't pay attention to this aspect of the sport (body-building). Did you know that celery is the ultimate bodybuilder, and helps with neuron function, which in turn can lead to a more alert sense of awareness and boost mind-muscle connection? Anyway, I sort of went off on a tangent.

Overall, I would stay away from dairy as much as possible because it's just dirty calories, filled with lackluster nutrient value and unhealthy fats.
 
P.S. Try adding almond milk instead of cow's milk. That tastes great in a vanilla flavor and would be a much healthier choice. Also, you don't want to consume too much fat PWO (post-workout) in your shakes. Aim for medium-glycemic carbs (like apples/banana) and your protein powder. Carbs + Protein. Then an hour later eat a full balanced meal.

I usually also aim for 2:1 carb/protein in my shakes PWO.
 
Here's a shake recipe you can try.
PRO/CHO/FAT
PWO (post-workout) add anything else you want to the shake, BCAAs, caffeine, cacao, maca, lecithin, any vitamins minerals or nutrients/supplements
Meal 3
3g vitamin C (for cortisol control, can be ascorbate acid, or sodium ascorbate, your choice)
2 scoops whey protein 48g - 8g - 2g
2 medium apples 0g - 50g - 0g
1oz berries (for taste, optional) 0g - 2g - 0g
1/2C finely ground oats 7g - 32g - 3g
Total: 55g - 92g - 5g
 
Hey Sizerp, could you drop some knowledge of a good regular diet we can try? Some of this advice you're giving is new to me and I'd like to slim my stomach down it has always been an issue of mine. Could you post any websites that might have the info or could you make a thread or both? I never knew about Almond milk, and using a juicer sounds like a good idea, but I never did anything with mine except make smoothies, what else can it be used with?

Sure Turn.

So your goals are to slim down a bit and lose some bodyfat I assume?

First piece of advice for shedding that unwanted bodyfat would be to get a membership to a gym and do strength training. Most people assume that with strength training, you're going to blow up and get all swole like Arnold or something, but this can't be further from the truth. In fact, most women I know dread the idea of lifting weights, or doing any sort of resistance training in fear of gaining mass, but when I get them into a routine of actually utilizing their muscles, they end up very pleased with the results of overall body aesthetics! See the thing is, the more muscle you hold the less bodyfat you'll store. This doesn't mean you need to be jacked to burn bodyfat though! The part where a lot of people get frustrated is they assume they can just do cardio and eat less carbs and get trimmed up. Well, that's really not the best way to go about doing this. Resistance training is the number 1 way to burn stored bodyfat.

If you don't have access to a gym, or a can't afford a membership, then I recommend doing something like pushups pullups (pullup bars are pretty cheap), and crunches. Grab objects around your house and use them for squatting, or curls, etc. If you have never strength trained before, and are completely clueless, that's okay too, you can get an idea from watching youtube on proper form, and to develop ideas about lifting in your own home. The idea would be to train your trunk/core/legs/upper body. Split the workouts up so you're working out 3 times per week. Never train back to back days, give yourself 1 day after training to let your nervous system and muscles recover, then hit it again. So monday/wednesday/friday would be a basic plan. Do about an hour of workout per session. So 3 hours a week! Not bad right!

Onto diet. While strength training you'll want to fuel your body and provide adequate nutrients to help it heal and grow! Remember, you don't grow while working out, you grow while healing, just like in Penis Enlargement! Just like you stretch all day, and pump all night, when you sleep, you wake up ready to begin your exercises again! During this sleep period, your body undergoes its healing miracles. The same things is applied to training, when you lift or workout you're breaking down your muscle fibers, and when you're body is resting over the course of 24 hours, your nervous system and muscles begin to heal and they super compensate and heal to where they are stronger to provide your body with added survivability.

With this type of functionality you'll want to fuel your body with macro-nutrients such as carbohydrates, and try to keep them as complex as possible to balance your satiety. For example, when you wake up you're body has been fasting for 7-10 hours and you're going to need fuel to go about your day! You should be eating some complex carbs (fuel) like oatmeal to give you the required energy.

Try to eat as clean as possible. It's very logical and easy if you take the time to get into the habit of reading your nutritional labels. Just think about it this way, sugar is your culprit for storing bodyfat. When you eat lots of high-glycemic carbs or very sugary foods like soft drinks, most dairy products, desserts, fast food, junk food, etc... you're body releases insulin (a transport hormone) to cleanse your blood of the sugar! When your insulin is secreted from your pancreas your glucagon (a hormone responsible for utilizing and breaking down stored bodyfat as fuel) levels drop significantly. It's kind of like a sea-saw. So the more you spike your insulin, the more you're storing bodyfat, or preventing your body from using stored bodyfat as fuel!

This is why the atkins diet was the biggest rage back in the day, people believed that if they never spiked their insulin (no carbs/sugar) then they would start losing weight! Well, in theory this is correct, however it's not necessarily healthy! By reducing your carbohydrate intake for extended periods of time, and eating a very low carb diet, you are increasing your sensitivity to such carbs. Then, when you DO increase your carb intake again, you are very sensitive and people can actually develop hypo and hyperglycemia through this approach to dieting. (This takes a while though). Not to mention, when you don't have carbs you have no energy to do anything! Workouts suffer, strength fails, and you feel tired and lethargic all day!

The goal is to stay balanced, to keep your blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day. Don't do anything extreme, like zero carb, or cyclic ketosis (although this does have it's application for the experienced dieter). (Ketosis diets are where you drop your carb intake to very low amounts everyday like 20g or less, and after a few days of this your body starts to utilize fat as it's main fuel instead of carb/sugar for short periods of time). Inasmuch, carbs aren't bad, it's just the choice of carb you eat! You should research the glycemic index of carbs, and try to consume ones that are on the low side of the scale. That means things like brown rice instead of white rice, sweet and red potatoes instead of white or baking potatoes, oatmeal instead of cereal (not instant oats), and if you MUST eat wheat, whole wheat pastas instead of the basic ones. Glycemic index basically tells you how much insulin your body will be releasing after eating a certain portion of what type of food your ingesting. You can wikipedia the glycemic index, and also glycemic load (which is less applicable if you are eating regular serving sizes).

I did mention protein? Not only that, protein plays a major role in all of the cells and most of the fluids in our bodies. Enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and even our DNA are at least partially made up of protein. We don't want to recycling protein through catabolism and muscle breakdown, because if you don't consume enough protein your body will attack itself to get it. We use up protein constantly, so it is important to continually replace it. This is the other important macro-nutrient you need to help burn bodyfat. Why? Well because if you are doing any sort of resistance training, protein is going to be the thing building and repairing your muscles! Our body required amino acids for all sorts of functions, and not just muscle building, however, when you eat a healthy amount of protein per day (varied per individual based on weight, bodyfat percentage, goals, etc...) you're allowing your body to synthesis another vital part in staying healthy and in shape. Remember your heart is a muscle too, the most important one in your body in fact!

Fats, healthy fats! Smart balance peanut butter, or most nut/seed butters/oils will help to provide a good balance of Omega3:6 and that's what you need for all sorts of metabolic functions, muscle building included. Eating the essential fatty acids our bodies cannot produce on their own (omegas, 3, 6, 9 most commonly) will in turn help your digestive track stay lubed, improve neuron function, and prevent cancer and diseases. Fish oil is one of the best supplements you can take, I would grab a bottle of Carlson's and take at least a serving per day.

If you give me your stats I can help develop a more tailored diet for your needs. We'll work one step at a time and figure out what types of foods you enjoy eating and what kind of activity level you currently have.

Yes keeping the body alkaline is very important for overall health and wellness. Most people are very acidic with all the caffeine, fast food, heavy grains and proteins, and lack of water and fresh produce. I can't agree more with your post about this topic Super. The problem is, when your body is acidic, and your intestines especially, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Things that all eventually lead to serious illness.
 
Take JACKED. That stuff worked miracles on my lifts along with creatine. Gained a shit load of strength and mass over these months. I now do 405 on the squat ( Not maxed ) and 400+ Deadlift.
 
hey there,
if you are really searching for energy,i know where you will get it its "tfsupplemets" i personally recommend you to use their energy supplements and you will the difference.


i think this will help you a lot tell you my experience I've also faced the same issue but thanks to "TFsupplements" ive not only gained weight but also have possessed a desired figure,

to add to it more, they also have a wide variety of other selections do check it out,
and there services are awesome man, like there shipping is really quick like you will get your desired product within 3 days from d date of your order.

hope it will help you
 
Hi,
If you want more energy in general then try out alow carb diet.. but first weeks can be hard.
Im fit and have more strenght then ever in my life since I use a low carb diet.
If you are into boddybuilding seriously then you should look for the anabolic diet. You will loose body fat and gain muscles.
Fact is that the human body isnt made to get its energy from the cheap carbo food we find everywhere. It harms in the long run.
Fat is the fuel to go.
 
but there is also issue of age and hormones not at their peak!

Robbie Williams said he is on a testosterone therapy and the older folks in Hollywood are on HGH....
