I'm always tired, no matter how much or how little sleep I get. Anyone know of any high energy diets? Any foods that help increase energy??

Thanks!

    Apples - but you might want to get out of the "diet" mindset.

    Diets the wrong word I suppose. I'm not even looking at all this to even lose weight, even though that will be great, but it's time I get healthy!

    Would applesauce count? I have mouth issues where I cant bite hard foods like apples haha

    THanks!

    I would start with a smaller deficit myself.

    Oh my gosh when I read this I thought "That's me!" Well that was me. I can tell you what I did, this might have just worked for me but there might be something you can glean. I used to drink so much caffeine...2 cups of coffee in the morning, a lot of diet soda etc. I really cut down on caffeine significantly. I might have a glass of tea each day and that is it. I also upped my water intake, this seemed to help me to feel less sluggish and helped me to make better food choices. I take a vitamin B supplement each day. Gosh I can't think of what else. I had to make myself stop taking naps at the end of each day...they were just killing me. Hmmm...not sure what else. I am anxious to hear what others say.

    What do you mean by starting with a smaller deficit?

    So if you are on, say, a 1000 calorie/day deficit currently, a 500 calorie deficit would be smaller.
