What helps fatigue from Tirz?

[ochoseis]

Honestly, upping my water intake seriously the day prior to my dose, and keeping on top of it the day of and after helped tremendously.

I had to move my dose day around because I realized I drink way more water at work vs at home or out & about and I would use taking it on Friday or Saturday as an excuse to be lazy and do nothing the day after lol.

Sugar, a boatload of sugar. 1st thing in morning, I drink a cup of juice with an added packet of sugar on pin day and 1 day after. This was recommended to me by my PCP, and worked like a charm since Month 1. Stuff like Gatorade only helps if it's the regular full sugar stuff.

I do not recommend adding more peps since you know you're getting the fatigue directly from the Tz, it is most likely from low blood sugar. Ppl seem to forget these are diabetic meds...it's meant to dramatically lower your blood sugar. You can get a monitor to check, I was never bothered to get one.

Don't forget a simple solution to fatigue is eating more aka your body needs fuel (carbs preferred) to feel energized. Try to increase your carbs the day you take Tz, and monitor if you see a difference. On pin day it's sometimes hard to get a full meal in high in carbs, so that's why my PCP told me liquids is the way to go...soda even works (caffeine + sugar combo is great). Protein IMO is overhyped and does NOT fix fatigue, it's a way to maintain muscle and I think that's something to worry about post-WL tbh.

Thank you! Thank you for helping me to validate the lavendar matcha lattes from Starbucks, that are full of sugar, that I had post pin day! hahah.

All good notes and tips.

I recently listed to a Rich Roll podcast with Simon Hill, and he is on the other side of the protein hype. He quotes several studies that suggest that normal amounts are adequate as long as there is resistance training and higher protein without resistance training does not protect or build muscle.
