in Health and Weight Loss
Cardio is all well but for nearly a year have had awful brain fog bottomless pit days that suck more then cancer
Concentration shot
Energy poor
Memory terrible cohesion gone
Mood appalling
So elimated milk yogurt dairy sugars salt in safe zones
Drink enough water and take hydration pills
It’s not adrenal fatigue as it goes next day these symptoms
So many things tried to cure it can’t take caffeinated *kitten* as to sensitive so energy drinks out
It’s so hard ploughing through its always like this can’t have the good endorphins without the crash next day

    Have you had check-up lately with your doctor? That is a long time to feel like crap.

    Have you seen a doctor?

    What is your programmed deficit/maintenance?
    What are hydration pills?
    Are you getting enough sleep?
    How old are you?
    What time of day are you training?
    What is your macro split?

    I would tell a doctor about this, OP. I hope it improves soon.

    Brain fog can possibly be caused by 1) a sensitivity to gluten, 2) fats in your diet being too low, 3) dehydration, or 4) your electrolytes being off (so eliminating salt may aggravate the problem rather than helping it).

    When you're in your food diary, turn your phone sideways.

    You can get your macro % if you press the nutrition button

    When you see your doctor about this, make sure to ask for a thyroid panel if it's not brought up in the discussion.

    I'd actually back it up before we get to macros and ask a.) how much do you have to lose and b.) how many calories are you eating?
