Energy Levels

A thing I've struggled with from before I even crashed from RU58841 at times was fatigue/lack of motivation. Could say mild depression. Causes not really sure.

I used to drink a lot of coffee though circa 2011-2014 and I tapered off of it to a more moderate dose. eg) from 400-600mg of caffeine via coffee a day to about 300 and now 150mg.

Anyone got good tips for energy level? I do a lot for health but it's still not the level it used to be sadly and energy is so key to attaining goals etc. in life.

Is that high dose coffee perhaps my medicine? after I do cdnuts protocol for 4 full cycles I might then do ARL/TEI or whatever new protocols you guys concoct by then. After that might do something like cdnuts protocol with high dose coffee eg) 2 grandes a day again. I like the way my brain and body works when I'm extra lean. like 160lbs 8% bodyfat at 6'. Right now I'm like 170lbs and feel slightly sluggish with that extra 10 but my appetite naturally leaves me at that place without ze coffee

On my prometheus dna it says I have a propensity towards needing stims cause I have low dopamine receptors in the brain and that coffee is good for me. hmm

Prometheus sounds legit. TEI, tiredness is "Adrenal fatigue", like some of us, you may be pushing yourself too hard at times. And coffee can for sure be a "medicine" of sorts.
It however is not a true D-2 agonist. I am not saying you have to (I only ever did when really sick or travelling), but some quit coffee months and months then slowly introduce it and it works way better.

I am not supposed to take it on TEI, but I have found citocoline and alpha-gpc (a choline precursor) to be very stimulating at times and help gym, focus, and work ethic. But choline should be cycled. And some do badly on it (possibly very badly). Usually it's fine though, but few things hurt me save for meds... so I can't say for sure it's safe for you. I think it is. A-GPC is safer though and both are neuroprotective, both can take my 200-250 reps to like 400, with kingsblood, 500. Like 98 dips straight and then a ton more, so that's good, but it's a cummulative effect. And* It's overtraining. I have adrenal fatigue, "state of exhaustion" in ARL from Mar. 20th 2018, and TEI - Sept 8 2018.

I will start TEI soon. 2 side effects of PFS remaining. BUT* I am doing it for other reasons as well.
Interesting about Prometheus, you and Area both mentioned that, I will do it after settling some work things and Tei rounds. Maybe 2-3 rounds I'm hoping, knowing my body and mind, and where I am at. I may very well workout less, which is fine, as I could be in a catabolic state. There are guys that lift 1/4 as much and look strong too, so who knows.

JUST BE MANIC AND HYPERACTIVE = energy 10yrs straight x 99. ALSO BAD. YOU HAVE DECENT ENERGY tho.

Before PSSD I had some fatigue/lack of motivation issues as well. Always needed a lot of coffee to get things done. Later on got put on ritalin which was horrible. 0/10 would not recommend.

I find caloric restriction helps, I feel more clearheaded and energetic when I haven't eaten yet.

But it fixed for you? Yeah I do sparse eating in the day and I have a bit more energy but it's not enough. Today I just went hard on caffeine cause I wanted to get shit done but I doubt the caffeine is good long term and if it will keep working this good if I do it all the time. I got a B complex on top of brewers yeast hopefully that helps though I doubt it will.

Increase meal freq a bit maybe. Unless you mean you already eat 5 small meals (that's so much, I used to 18-20 or so, it's hard to keep up, requires some serious planning).
I just do 1-2 dinners but will need to do 2-3 for TEI. Slow 1 "increase meal freq", also supps need that ("take with food").

Caffeine's a crap stim, high NE action. And cortisol., and major withdrawal. High doses potentially antiaging, probably is - antioxidant count is HIGH!! v high. BUT, potentially shortens telomeres. Good for digestion/ morning routine. Maybe 4-6 a day at 19 and like 1-2 a day 25 on usually. Sometimes a lot more. AND one i count is 2x shots espresso usually.

I'm going on iodine + active b complex + magnesium soon, gotta get a few more blood tests done first. If that's not enough I will try adding in mucana pruriens.

I use all nascent iodine, magnesium glycinate brewers yeast. I got an additional b multivitamin by new roots but not sure if it's as good as the one you're using.

honestly the caffeine really hit the spot today. probably just have overestimations of good energy because like i said I used to hit the coffee really hard but maybe there's some energy im not tapping into

-possibly misremembering your true final form? AS In maybe can't recall how hard coffee hit you before... and you believe at times it was harder hitting.
-I mean no coffee will be like the coffee you had at 14, 16, 18 or whenever.

Sounds good, that's pretty similar to my stack I guess. Sometimes caffeine is the best, sometimes it just makes me feel more strung out. Today is a good day which is nice since I have a shitton of uni work to do >_>
