[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1088846, member: 4886"] I totally agree with being well rested and a good diet. However, you also said you drink Diet Mtn Dew (I'm assuming for the caffeine). I suggest if you are having a problem with energy levels, your diet isn't as good as you think it is, esp the Diet Mtn Dew. I suggest laying off all simple sugars in all forms. Drink lots of water, eat a lot of protein and consume healthy fats (Olive oils, Omega 3's - from fish and flax seed, coconut oil).Try to avoid breads, potatoes, corn, virtually anything packaged in the convenience stores or supermarket. I used to be the type that avoided breakfast. I realize what they say is true, it's very important meal to get your body going. I usually start off the day with some eggs (usually try to have 2 egg whites, and 1 whole egg) in the form of an omelet with some vegetables in it (onions, peppers, mushrooms, spinach etc in it - took a while to get used to spinach). I try to eat a salad every day (as a meal-not as a side with dinner). I'll eat nuts as snacks if I'm hungry. I basically eat an Atkins type diet (Hi protein, low carb) diet and I also take a lot of supplements (B Vitamins help with energy, COQ10 for heart and also energy, A,C,E,D3, plus lots of herbs and also minerals).
