Dragging ass during calorie deficit

[Raphael3636]

Hey fellas anyone have any good tips or tricks to combat fatigue and lethargy during prep/cut. I’m only in deficit of about 800Kal , generally around 3100kal for the day but man this fatigue is kicking my ass. I’ll start of the day ok, gym, work, but around 3pm at work I literally need to go sit and close my eyes for 10 mins to regain a little energy. Also I like to mention I cycle my carb intakes and on higher carb days I feel a little better.

Try this coffee. Kinda high in caffiene hence the name but its good

Try some sugar free gum. The act of chewing wakes me up I usually use a fruity flavor with a bit of tangyness

Lol welcome to prep life. Suck it up buttercup is all I can say lol

 

[Raphael3636]

that’s about all I can do lol

Nothing like a cup of Death Wish coffee and chewing some nicotine gum lol. That combo will wake you up quick but comes at a price of some rapid heart beat and sometimes not being able to fall asleep when you want to.

Death Wish coffee

Sounds intense man!
Nicotine gum huh, Interesting

Ive heard of this brand, alot of my fishing buddies swear by it. How do you like it? Is it nice and bold?

I stand behind my fellow veterans but I’ve ordered from them 3 times which was 2 too many. Horrible customer service and shipping times. Not what I expected from a veteran owned and operated company. I’ll stick to Death Wish. Also if you want more than just strong coffee their Valhalla Java is amazing

 

[Raphael3636]

That sucks man, thanks for the heads up. I’m the same way in supporting fellow vets, but sometimes you just have to pass if there not correct on there end.

 

[Ironside]

Now to be fair I will add that the last time I ordered was about 2 years ago. Because of the issues I had, I never ordered from them again. They may have gotten their shit together by now but I can’t vouch for that.

take the nap… seriously… the carb deficits suck. I m usually so pissed by late afternoon that carries me through but other than that it is as @PHD says… a suck it up buttercup moment

 

[Raphael3636]

Even the quick 10 min. nap I take in the bathroom at work is a huge help.

You sneaky bastard

 

[John]

So you piss in the toilet,shit on the toilet, and sleep on/in the toilet then?

 

[Raphael3636]

Hahaha sure do, ain’t no different then being in the field during FTX

 

[John]

I actually laughed
