The older I get, the more I realize how energy is important.
I want to know what are the best ways to feel energized during the day.
So far what I have
- Sleep
- Food
- Reduce caffeine
- intermittent fasting
- Avoid sugar (except in fruits)
What kind of food is optimal to keep energy levels high? I'd say fruits/vegetables/nuts mostly.
What else am I missing
meditation? Napping? Stretching?
What's the most important thing to have high energy /fit/. I'd like to stay away from drugs btw.
>>36826022
Blow/crack
Black coffee
High carb [spoiler]vegan[/spoiler] diet works well for me
Surfing. All the surfer guys I know are like the fucking energizer bunny when they're not stoned as shit.
>>36826028
black coffee gives you a boost but then you feel tired and need some more. I'm trying to cut it back so I stabilize my energy level.
>>36826035
Where do you get your carbs from?
>>36826054
I don't live near a beach desu. Other sport?
Eat well
Stay hydrated (super important)
Everything else you have mentioned
Breathing bro, research on breathing and you'll come to find it that breathing is literally related to all parts of your body, it affects (a lot) of your physiological, psychological emotional and spiritual health, do breathing exercises for 15 mins and you'll feel the massive boost of energy, your whole body will feel vibrant and motivated, and find exercises to stretch your diaphragm and inter coastal muscles (rib cage muscles) to stretch those areas up for optimal breathing, we used breathe normally and healthily when we were children, but we developed terrible breathing patterns, from various reasons. So yeah bro try it out.

My diet is pretty much pseudo-vegan (I'll have whey like once every two week) and I agree with this.
Don't go retarded and do one of those 80% carb ones though, OP. I keep my carbs at 55-60% and feel great all the time.
And because you asked, I probably eat around 1000 cals worth of fruits and veggies daily. Best carb sources; no need to look elsewhere.
>>36826069
>>36826022
High protein high carb diet mixed with working out. If you're jacking off every day, stop it
How old are you? Also steroids/trt
>>36826123
tell me more about breathing exercises, which ones do you recommend?
>>36826022
Don't fap.
>>36826610
good one, I already stopped fapping, and try to avoid watching any porn whatsoever (don't know if it's an energy drainer, pretty sure it is somehow)

Always have things to do. If you have "free time" body will switch to low energy mode
>>36827228
Interesting.
I need to stop shitposting on 4chan then.
Is there such a thing as "low energy mode" though?
>>36827342
>Is there such a thing as "low energy mode"
no
unless it's clinical depression or low t
>>36827342
Ya you just need to right click battery icon and click power/battery saver mode
>>36826022
High testosterone is the #1 best thing for high energy, those steps you are taking are mostly about increasing testosterone.
Consider also taking 30mg of zinc, daily. DO NOT GO OVER THIS AMOUNT though, as this is the optimum amount, beyond this and you get negatives.
>>36827379
I'm wary of supplements because I can never tell their effects on me.
Except onces when I was taking probiotics, I felt lighter. I'll try Zinc.
I tried taking macca, couldn't tell any difference...
>>36827492
Zinc is a bit less exotic and more basic if you research a bit more into it. Personally though, when I was low on test, I felt a huge difference, but these days I got so many muscles that I dont think that it makes a huge difference anymore to me. But still, even if its 10%, its going to be worth it.
>>36826022
you need ketosis my friend.
>>36827522
I never tested my test levels, but I have no problems building muscles if I work out and eat adequate food, so I guess my test levels are allright.
>>36827528
It means stop eating pastas/rice right? I tried it's hard as hell. Couldn't do it. Does that help with energy?
>>36826022
Thanks for the pic Senpai. This is nice.
>>36826022
If you of European descent, sunlight.
Staying active is also key, your body adjusts to your life. If you are constantly on the go you become accustomed to it. Eventually it becomes a part of who you are.
>>36826022
Daily cardio is a life saver for me. Without it I become lethargic. Other than that, fatty fish and loads of fresh produce. Also, avoid dehydration at all costs.
>>36827543
There are some signals of having good testosterone, like chest hair thats a plus. But if you have belly fat, thats a minus. Recently I managed to eradicate most of my fat, plus build a lot of muscles (which is also a plus for test).
and thanks to that, the first few chest hairs started sprouting up. You could test your test, but most likely you could already see it on your body and guess.
>>36827592
Belly fat is a sign of high test. Odd fat distribution like tits, thighs and weird love handles are signs of low test.
>>36827546
No worries, I love classic paintings and just looking at them gives me energy!
>>36827573
Yeah I noticed than when i don't do shit, then I become tired after doing a small task.
The more you do the more you feel like doings and inversely.
>>36827583
What cardio do you do? I'm thinking some jumping rope is ideal.
>>36827613
no, you are wrong, all fat is bad for test, even a simple google would show you that. Belly fat especially is bad for test. You best start losing fat, you fatty, instead of typing out lies to which people wont respond, on the internet.
>>36827627
I go for a run every morning so I get both exercise and fresh air. Living rurally or with good access to nature is also recommended. Jumping rope is very good imao.
>>36827583
How much cardio? Is 20-30 minutes enough?
>>36827646
To be fat is bad for test but we all store fat from excess calories. If you store it on your belly it's a sign that your test levels are healthy (you should still try to lose it tho). Odd fat storage is a sign that something is messed up.
>>36827592
I've gotten more chest hair since I started lifting and leaving malnourished skinnyfat mode. It's nothing amazing yet, but it's definitely better than before.
>>36827669
You are still fucking wrong though, belly fat is not in any way linked to any kind of increase in testosterone. It is always linked to a decrease, doesnt matter if its negligible or not. You are a fucking retard. Il just leave it at that.
>>36827686
Where do you store your fat then?
>>36827676
That means that your test is increasing, and I would say that even such a small sign is a pretty big achievement. Because most men in our society no longer have chest hair. If you do, you may be the one of the few last remaining normal men in this civilization.
Try eating more spinach
>>36826035
Freelee pls go
>>36827699
What's the best way to prepare it? I think I've only tasted it raw, and it wasn't great.
I know the biggest effects when I change my diet and start eating better. I also am taking Yohimbine right now and love it. I'm running on about 6-7 hours of sleep a night feeling fully rested. Used to need 8-9.
>>36827713
Works well in shakes believe it or not. Other than that, wilt it in a pan with some garlic, god tier with chicken tits.
>>36827658
I do about an hour, but 30 min could work well.
>>36827687
use fucking google you retard

>>36827686
His point is that men store fat in their belly, women store it in their ass and legs. And don't be a name calling cunt.
>>36827736
fat retard enabler.
>>36827734
>links to a blog
Wew lad
>>36826022
Start running
If you're a fat fuck like most of hetero /fit/, you probably don't do enough cardio. Once you start running every day, you will notice you have tons of energy every day, so much that you want to lift or run just to get tired enough to sleep. It becomes necessary for you to exercise every day just to feel good, and that's what you want.
>>36827724
It doesn't remove some of the nutrients or is that broscience?
>>36826022
take antidepressants
>>36827756
I could try to link to an actual scientific journal, but I decided that it was like pearls to pigs. Enjoy being retarded and fat, I dont care really.
>>36827759
Heat treatment beaks down some of the oxalate in spinach. Too much raw spinach can irritate kidneys.
>>36827736
What if I used to store fat mostly in my thighs and ass as a male, but now I'm getting more fat in my belly even though I'm maintaining the same weight?
Am I increasing my test and that's causing my body to redistribute where it stores fat?
>>36827797
It could be test and it could be changes in muscle mass. Or both. Or age, diet, exercise (such as cardio) and so on.
>>36827175
Wow, that's actually p. cool.
>>36827757
Am I the only one who feels lethargic after running in the morning?
Maybe I just have to get used to it for the first week or something like that?
>>36827999
Yes you need more than a week. Also, it helps to eat something after.
>>36828051
I'm currently doing IF so I don't eat before 4-5PM.
I actually work out fasted and I like it a lot, I'm afraid if I run I wouldn't have any energy left.
the best way to have HIGH ENERGY is to get enough sleep and be on that EC stack
>>36828051
>>36827999
And before. I usually eat a banana before a morning swim.
I find that I absolutely have to do something within a few hours of getting up or it's a complete death sentence for my energy level through the day.
I tend to get up between 8 or 9am and try to do something like go to the gym or a walk or have a stretch by midday. If I have exactly the same amount of sleep but I don't leave the house until 2 or 3pm I can barely keep my eyes open and just want to sleep.
>>36826022
Vitamin D3 and voting Trump
>>36828216
Any sort of activity definitely makes you feel better. Sometimes I'll feel terrible getting into the gym, but when I've warmed up properly I forget all about it.
>>36828216
i need to build a good morning routine
