[QUOTE="Moonshot, post: 65696, member: 15321"] Thanks for the feedback, johndoesmith. I would not say I feel woozy/weak in the morning most days, maybe once in a while. I'm usually OK in the mornings, it's usually the evenings where I start dozing off, anywhere from 6PM to 10PM--watching a movie or reading at home, but also sometimes when I'm at a work dinner with colleagues or driving. Before anyone points it out, I'm aware of the danger of falling asleep at the wheel, and manage it by either not driving at night, stopping for the night at a motel (if on a long road trip), or pulling over to nap for an hour or two before continuing. I don't have any trouble sleeping, but I often don't get enough sleep. Function of my work schedule--it varies by project but right now I will generally be up by 5:30am, or 4:30 on workout days, and often stay up until 11pm if I don't collapse before then. I am 6'1" and 215 lbs. now, with some belly fat and love handles. I've been as much as 238 about a year ago, and my college weight was a thin 180--college athlete and pretty active back then but zero weight training. A year ago I started dieting by skipping meals and dropped from 238 to 199, now I'm back up to 215. I'm not incredibly active now. I lift free weights, mostly compound lifts (squat, bench, press, deadlift), 2-3 times a week. No cardio at all. My Apple devices say I averaged 5,500 daily steps this month. Diet is high protein, low carb. I travel and eat out a lot for work, so have things like steak, Indian food with minimal rice, eggs or egg sandwiches for breakfast, and one or two 50-60g whey protein shakes per day, and occasionally a whey protein bar. Spinach or other salads about 4 times a week. We order out on Friday nights, and my wife cooks a generally healthy, balanced meal once or twice a week when I'm home (mostly on the weekends). I'm far from perfect though--I'll sometimes have ice cream or pizza or some other high carb/sugar thing. Alcohol is not a regular thing, there may be an odd work dinner with 1-3 drinks but I probably average less than 1 drink a week overall. About two 16 oz. cups of coffee per day. No sugared sodas or other high calorie beverages, maybe once or twice a week will have a 20 oz. diet soda. Supplements include creatine, BCAAs, beta alanine, HMB, betaine anhydrous, R-ALA, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Turmeric, Fish Oil, and recently I added Zinc and CoQ 10. I use Minoxidil to delay hair loss and was using Propecia (finasteride) for about a year but recently stopped as I realized through my research that it may be contributing to my issues. [/QUOTE]
