Hey everyone, here's the short version of my problem: I would like to start a regular exercise program (weights + HIIT cardio), but I always feel tired and sleepy, too fatigued to even think about exercise. I seem to get enough sleep at night, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any advice would be appreciated...
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Big problem with lack of energy
- Thread starter Slashco
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You need to eat 6 times a day and not 2-3. Your metabilism will go up considerably, this helped me overcome chronic fatigue.
I wake up, eat a high protien and carb breakfast (oatmeal, eggs, whole weat toast) then slam a protien shake around 10 am. You should try to eat a balanced but smaller meal every 3 hours (unless you are bulking, in which case you need to eat like a gorilla and chow down protien in bulk).
Avoid simple sugars (soda, candy, white bread, rolls) and instead eat whole grain, oats, and lean protien early in the day.

Well the problem with lack of energy is that you AREN'T exercising. Your body is very adaptive and if it doesn't require energy, you aren't going to feel energized at all.
Muscles are enzymes; living breathing cells full of life and requireing energy (calories) to maintain, while fat cells are basically sacks of tissue requireing much less energy to maintain.
Eat quality food that is full of life, like whole grains, vegetables and lean meats, instead of "dead" food like chips and soda which have little to no nutrients.
Stop making excuses for yourself and hit the gym. Work out hard enough, and you'll have no trouble going to sleep.
Start building up the muscle, and eating right, and I guarantee you'll have more energy than you know what to do with.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You might want to look at what you're eating. More fresh fruits and vegetables would probably help you. Pepperoni pizza doesn't usually do too much for your energy level. Also, watch your refined sugar intake.
And like these guys said, you need to start exercising to feel better.

Slashco i'm having your problem too, feel too tired but i do have enough sleep.strange, but what saine said can be a good answer to my problems.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

sheesh, I banged that out too quick ... muscles REQUIRE enzymes to work; my point being that having more enzymes around will mean more energy. And you get that through exercise (I recommend lifting).
ATP (the energy that muscles need) come from enzymes, which are living protiens that are behind ALL biochemical activities in the body.
Why can't a couch potato run a marathon (easily) one day, but after about 3 months of training or so can do it readily?
Well, making more muscle increases your metabolism, which increases your enzyme production so you can have a higher capacity of energy for the next day. So saying "Im too tired to go to the gym" ... well DUH!!!
Mmmm, some people may interpret that differently. "ATP come from enzymes".... rather than appear to be "busting you balls", putting you down and picking on small details, could you go into a bit more detail on ATP synthesis please?

The process is a bit detailed for a quick post, so here are some links:
"A muscle cell has some amount of ATP floating around that it can use immediately, but not very much -- only enough to last for about three seconds. To replenish the ATP levels quickly, muscle cells contain a high-energy phosphate compound called creatine phosphate. The phosphate group is removed from creatine phosphate by an enzyme called creatine kinase, and is transferred to ADP to form ATP. "

"Energy enzymes - A set of 10 enzymes allows a cell to perform glycosis. Another eight enzymes control the citric-acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle). These two processes together allow a cell to turn glucose and oxygen into adenosine triphosphate, or ATP"
