With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

It feels like an effort to get up in the morning, and i can barely make it through the day without taking a nap. I have no energy. My diet or routine has not changed at all, however I feel that maybe it may be the weather, its getting a little cooler, and the sun is setting earlier. Either way, does anyone have any suggestions to help me feel more like my normal self and a little more energetic. Anything extra I should add into my diet to help?? Thanks.

If you don't listen to your body your going to hurt yourself. 2. If the above isn't correct then I would say if your not about to get sick like a virus of some sort then it's in your nutrition intake including vitamins. 3. I may be in left field but I do know When I have totally overstrained myself I felt the same exact way and I was drained to a depression time of drain! Your best best is to do what I did TYPE in Overstrained in the search and read on a few threads and see it any of it refers to how you feel. Took me almost 2 weeks to recover because I'm also injured!

I personally have learned this the hard way.:cool: ============ Quoting from slorbets: Thanks for the input!
