I have 0 energy on most days. Been like this a good while. All I want to do is lay around and sleep. I do force myself to get up and workout but I always feel like I'm better off just sleeping for the next 5 years.

Anyone know of a good energy booster? One that actually works. I know 99% of you are against anything that doesn't grow from the ground but I need something to get me through the day, or at least just my workouts.

    I agree with seeing a doctor. How you're feeling doesn't sound right and you should get it checked out.

    Sound like I did not long ago when I had anemia. Get checked cos sounds like you are lacking in iron!

    Otherwise an energy booster is always caffiene... or have you tried poweraide or something like that...

    5 hour energy works for me in a pinch, but I would strongly suggest against regular use.

    Coffee?

    HorrorChix89, I would be more concerned about why you don't have energy. If you have not been to the doctor's office in a while I would suggest getting blood work. You may need iron or there could be some other cause, especially if exercise does not boost your energy. If you've been to the doc. office, I would first try water (2 glasses with each meal and at least 20oz during and just after your workout).

    My younger brother chugged a huge can of Monster and jumped out of his friend's truck and took off running (it was parked by that time) Then he crashed of course.

    Not sure if I want to try that but maybe a smaller can would work. It has little calories, no sugar.

    Oh and 5 hour energy never worked for me.

    Iron deficiency can cause tiredness - maybe some vitamins - but really best advice would be go to docs and get some blood tests done.

    Well last time I tried to donate blood (Red Cross on their quarterly school visits) the guy testing me said my iron was too low to donate.

    I took some iron pills for a bit, but then I got tired of taking them because I never remembered

    I agree that you should go to the doctor. There are so many things that could be causing it (little and big). I personally found out that I had a Vitamin D deficiency last summer. I'm a completely different person now!

    **I should also add... $5 a month in Vitamin D supplments was the only change.

    Sounds like it could be a medical condition...I had low iron and had to start a multi-vitamin regiment that helped. My go to when I need a boost is peanut butter. Sometimes on a 110 calorie bagel, or just with an apple. That get's me up and going through my one hour work out at least.

    :noway:

    Uh. Wow.

    I will bet that you need to make some improvements in your diet and sleep hygiene. But you might want to make an appointment with your doctor.
