“Maybe not low calories but low carbs is making you tired?
I could be wrong, but maybe you aren’t getting enough energy food.”

Not sure if trolling…? Wouldn’t explain the sore throat, nor would it explain extreme lethargy. Plus, I don’t know how long she’s been doing this, but she said it’s been around for 10 days so usually the body will adjust to the diet in that time. Seriously, man? Seriously? Calories are a unit of energy too btw, which means that 1700 calories is 1700 calories is 1700 calories…give the human body some credit.

What’s up with the higher rep stuff? Just to keep it interesting or is it for the cut?

Lethargy is a pretty ubiquitous side effect of low carbohydrate diets even after an initial adjustment period (that’s why people backload them!). Also it will deplete the glycogen in your muscles. Ingesting 1700 calories of sugar will yield very different physiological sensations than 1700 calories of steak.

Not saying that has anything to do with it, but I can assure you he’s not trolling. He’s been following Spock’s progress for about 10000000x longer than you have, and I assure you he is only trying to help (he has been very helpful historically as well).

923

Given the 10 days of sore throat going along with your fatigue I’m going to go with “strep” or “mono”.

Done O’ Ramma!

I am going to assume that my tired-ness is a mixture of going on the pill/fighting off something/lower carb than I am used to.

I am SUB 100grams right now amd before I was probably like 250 or some shit…

I also feel like since I am not powerlifting my anixety issues have all magically disappeared. I’m calm all day about everything.
I’m also totally not horny in any way, nor am I excited about anything.

I think powerlifting sends my cortisol totally outta whack and that’s why it makes me so fat-ish.

I dunno, I just don’t think it’s “good” for me.

I had a dream that there was an old people serial killer possee and I was next on their hit list, so I had to stay at Jim Brass’ house (csi) for protection. It was really exciting.

KBYE

Unfortunately I feel the same way, except its been over a year. Hoping my new diet changes help get me out of it! Anyway, that is very un-Spock like so hope it gets solved for you quickly! And great dream as usual.

Sounds like you two need some vitamin T. If you catch my drift.

Those are somewhat common side effects of birth control (it regulates hormones). Given the fact it started happening at the exact time you started taking it, I’m changing my answer.

Keep tabs on your state of mind. The positives (loss of anxiety) may not outweigh the negatives (loss of joy).

If only there was some way to be calm about stuff but also excited and horny.

I’m sorry but I’ve yet to see someone surmount to csulli’s grammar and vocabulary. ALL HAIL CSULLI/FRY <333!!!11

I vote for the cardio cutting your anxiety…its not popular to say but here’s a for sure endorphin high that lasts pretty long with cardio hense so many happy bunnies.

As for the lack of joy, its probably the dieting. It will pass though–and I bet you’ll feel more of a sex drive once you start seeing the changes your diet will do to your body. Confidence is a huge turn on for everyone–especially the one who has it.

Also you could just be leveling out from the lack of anxiety over pl stuff, being so high strung for a long time is exhausting but its also a change your body’s gotta get used to. Its accustomed to being high stress/anxiety and now its not so much which is a big change and exhausting as well.

And yeah, might be the bc too. Its so unfair…what women have to deal with. Pretty much all bc options suck and fuck with your body hard core or are fucking unconformable!

Thank you csulli

I assure you I’m not trolling as 1 I have better things to do with my time, and 2 I genuinely care about Miss Jenn and her health. We are facebook friends, so I guess you could say things are pretty serious.

I have seen more than one person eat low or no carbs and suffer fatigue. It was worth asking. 1700 does not equal 1700 regardless, but you’re welcome to try it. Just try it with one meal, lets say breakfast.
If you eat steak and eggs with a piece of toast and milk you’ll feel great and grab life by the balls.
If you eat some poptarts and crunch 'n bunch cereal you’ll be hungry again in an hour and feel like shit.
You can eat 7 boxes of poptarts and you won’t feel as good as you do with quality food.

Now no, it doesn’t explain her sore throat, but when I was in the Army and had to skip meals I felt like ass and got sick. Might be some pro hoc reasoning and not true causality, but whatever.

To sum up, no I am not trolling, and yes I do think that what you eat matters to a degree.

933

I have a few things to say

  1. I think it’s great you can subdue your urge to powerlift in order to pursue your goal.
  2. I hope you get to feeling better ASAP!
  3. I hope you and Gabe had fun swimming!
  4. Do you still play scrabble? I want to play again!

Hope all is well, and what isn’t well gets better!

WT: 144.5

It’s amazing what can happen in just a few weeks as far as conditioning shit goes. I really don’t do cardio, but just keeping my rest periods short I can tell I’m in no where near as bad as shape as I was. I used to cringe thinking about having to do a set before I was ready, now I don’t need to rest really at all.

UMmmmmmmmmm, what else…

I really don’t think that boy likes me anymore. He used to text me everyday, now never…
And if i text him he barely answers back.
HE’S JUST NOT THAT IN TO ME.

It could either be because he’s really busy being a workaholic and it’s making him utterly miserable (this is FACT, but it doesn’t mean it would stop him from liking me at all)
He could think I am annoying, which I am…
OR he could be really not sexually attracted to me. OF COURSE this is the one I will assume because girls with negative self image issues always pick shit like this.

I AM However, semi- okay with this because he has a drinking problem and smokes too much pot, LOLLLLLLLL.

I PICK SUCH WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

I am bummed that this means I probably wont have sex again for another two years and then I’ll be…UHG twenty fucking eight years old, and still totally clueless about SEX!!! AND my vagina is too small, so it’s gonna keep being small and it’s gonan get tigher and tigher and then eventually you wont even be able to fit a finger in there and then I QUIT SEX FOR LIFE!!!

Anyway, going skating later.

PEACE

BYE

937

GIRL!!!

That dude probably isn’t a good fit for you anyways…if he’s a drinker and a pot type. I could be wrong but you appear to me as a rather healthy, DISCIPLINED, but fun loving person. Not to diss someone I don’t even know, but yeah…if he’s over a certain age in his 20’s and still drinking and smoking a lot of weed then you are on different paths.

ALSO–> don’t feel bad about not being some sex pro. Who is? …and who WANTS to be? The right guy for you will be more then happy to teach you, or you teach him…you are WOMAN. Don’t EVEN sweat small stuff like that. Any guy who tells you otherwise has some maturing to do.

I’m glad your training is working out fab!! It sounds like you are feeling good about it!!
