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.

Could these dizzy spells be caused by a withdrawl of the caffeine or should I see a doctor. It gets to the point i'm bed ridden or almost faint and whenever I sneeze or yawn it gets worse. Thanks!

What is your diet like and how many calories do you consume a day? -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~

Sorry to prod you with so many questions, but from the sounds of it you may not be eatting enough for your activity level. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.
