"Gaining More Energy in Your Life" Report continued...

Have you ever felt fatigued before you even left your house in the morning? Maybe you woke up feeling rested, but by the time you were leaving the house, you were already drained.

Some people have a very chaotic morning routine that can deplete all of their energy stores quickly. Your body needs a bit of time to wake up in the morning.

Allow yourself time to casually open your eyes take some deep breaths and rise without rushing.

You don’t need to launch right into all of your tasks for the day the second your feet hit the floor.

Give yourself a way to ease into your day, whether that’s through meditation, reading the morning newspaper, or sipping a cup of coffee and doing nothing at all.

You want to avoid tackling stressful things immediately. Don’t wake up and instantly begin paying all of your bills for the day. Don’t try to handle a major health crisis or family drama in your first hour awake.

Avoid checking your emails and work related tasks until it’s time to address those topics. Stressful things can drain your energy quickly and you don’t want to start your day that way.

Nutritionally, make sure that you never skip your breakfast. You don’t want to start on a cycle of caffeine and sugar with nothing else in your system, because your energy levels will crash quickly.

Instead, make sure you have some lean protein paired with some carbs in the morning. If you skip your breakfast, your metabolism will slow down.

Your body has already been without food as you slept, so now it is looking for some fuel to get going.

Exercise Can Give or Drain Energy

Many people falsely believe that if they exercise, it will make them feel even more tired. Actually, the reverse is true in most cases. Putting yourself on an exercise regimen will help you build stamina and energy stores over a long period of time.

One of the reasons that exercise contributes to better energy levels is because it improves your blood circulation. When your blood is circulating better, you feel energized.

It wakes you up internally and gives you the boost that you need to complete your tasks during the day. Exercise is also a powerful mental motivator. It helps you clear your mind and makes it easier to focus.

When your mental energy is alert, it helps you restore your physical energy levels. Emotionally, exercise calms your stress levels, which can drain your energy as well.

If you have the stress hormone cortisol coursing throughout your body, then you can fight it by releasing endorphins that you gain when exercising.

Just because exercise has benefits that allow you to fight fatigue, it doesn’t mean that you should overdo it. Too much exercise is equally damaging.

You have to have a balance. Make sure you’re not using exercise as a way to avoid dealing with the issues in your life.

Work Habits Drain Your Energy

You may be very dedicated to your career, and that’s an admirable quality to have. But sometimes, we neglect our physical and emotional well-being in order to accomplish tasks at work.

If you work at an office job, where you’re sitting eight hours a day, you may feel like you have no reason to feel fatigued. After all, it’s not as if you were on your feet all day. But being sedentary can actually cause you to not have as much energy.

You need to take frequent breaks - even if it’s only for a few minutes. Make sure you get up and walk around so that your blood can circulate and you will remain alert and aware during the day.

Walk the hallways, or go up and down a flight of stairs to keep from being completely sedentary. Analyze the task you do at work each and every day.

Do they all need to be done while sitting, or is there an opportunity for you to stand and move around as you accomplish them?

You may be able to take a phone call while pacing, or go to see a colleague in your office rather than email them or talk on the phone. Another work habit that may need to be limited is multitasking.

Many people mistakenly believe that they get more done if they’re doing several things at once, but even though it appears that way, multitasking can sometimes drain your energy because you weren’t focusing on completing one job at a time and you can become easily overwhelmed.

Energy Boosters for the Afternoon

Many people suffer from fatigue at a certain time of the day. Maybe they start their morning feeling energetic, but by mid-afternoon, they’re already tired.

If this describes you, you may want to select some strategic energy boosters for your afternoon schedule.

Sometimes, this can be remedied with a simple vitamin supplement regimen. You’ll need to be tested to see if your blood is deficient in certain vitamins before you start taking any.

But, if your vitamin D is deficient, for example, then you may find that taking a simple D3 supplement helps you maintain energy levels throughout the day without a midday slump.

Some people can get away with a very short, five minute deep breathing activity. Getting enough oxygen can help you feel more energetic and refreshed to finish out your day strong.

You may even want to engage in a short meditation session, and nobody even needs to know that this is what you’re doing.

Another thing you can do if you suffer from midday fatigue is to eat an energy snack.

The process of eating restores some of your energy levels, regardless of what you eat.

But you want to avoid the vending machine, which is packed with unhealthy foods - and instead bring a healthy snack such as a fruit and protein from home.

You can also leave your work area temporarily and take a walk. Getting up and moving around will give you more energy. Make sure you’re not taking a smoke break. This will have the opposite effect.

Taking a physical and mental break from work in the middle of the day can sometimes reinvigorate you and provide you with enough energy until bedtime. Use your breaks strategically and do something that gives you energy, rather than drains it.

Use Natural Energy Boosts

There are many things you can do to fight fatigue that don’t require taking any supplements or going to a doctor for a prescription. You can try natural remedies to see if they assist you in getting more energy.

The first thing you can do is to make sure you’re spending plenty of time outside in the sun. You have to be careful to wear sunscreen and avoid getting skin cancer, but once you protect your skin, it is beneficial for you to get fresh air and natural vitamin D from the sun.

Sometimes, when people are suffering from fatigue, they tend to stay indoors and rest more than they should. Getting outside and walking, gardening, or even resting in the sun can help you get a good night’s sleep where you will have more energy the following day.

Another thing you might try that can naturally help you fight fatigue is to start listening to music that you enjoy on a regular basis.

Music can give you an instant energy boost. You can move to it as exercise or simply allow it to calm your frazzled nerves.

Music can help put issues into perspective and it can also give you a mental break whenever you are feeling overwhelmed from the chaos of your day.

You may want to pick music that you naturally enjoy, but don’t be afraid to try new sounds that you typically wouldn’t listen to for sheer entertainment purposes.

While exercise is a great energy booster over a long period of time, you don’t have to engage in vigorous cardiovascular or strength training exercises to enjoy the benefits.

You can start a simple stretching routine that can help you fight fatigue and restore your energy levels.

Doing a short mini stretch routine can boost your energy because it helps your blood circulate throughout your system.

This improved blood flow will give more oxygen to your muscles, allowing them to physically support you as you move from place to place. You don’t have to do it for very long – just long enough to loosen up your muscles.

Ending Your Day with the Right Energy

People who suffer from fatigue often head to bed without any resolution or strategy for improving their energy levels for the following day. Most people who come home from a hard day at work simply want to sit, watch TV, and eat.

This adds to the fatigue and can become a horrible cycle that makes it impossible to feel energetic. It’s okay to rest when you come home from work, but then get up and do a little work around the house or go for a walk before or after dinner.

This can eliminate that tired feeling you suffer from, even if initially you feel a bit more tired. Give it some time to work. Make sure you skip the drive-through on your way home from work.

Some people who suffer from fatigue are so tired, that they can’t fathom having to cook dinner at the end of a hard day. But loading up on fast food at the end of the day will deplete your energy stores later.

Make sure you choose lighter meals, not heavy ones, because they are more easily digested and better for you in terms of being able to get a good night’s sleep. They will also help you avoid packing on the pounds, which is something that contributes to fatigue in the first place.

If you want to, you can do a bit of light exercise in the evening. Now is not the time to engage in too much exercise. You don’t want to be too riled up before bed. Try to do some light exercises such as Pilates or yoga.

Addressing a problem such as fatigue is never a cut and dry issue. Everyone is different, and every solution will affect each individual differently. What works for one person may not work for you.

Make a plan of attack to improve your energy levels over time. First, analyze what your current life situation is like.

Take a look at your habits and routines as well as your stress levels and sleep habits and see if you’re making any glaring mistakes that could be zapping your energy from you.

Slowly begin replacing the negative items with routines, mindset shifts, and tasks that will support you in your quest for more energy. Don’t try to change your entire life in one day.

This will be overwhelming and frustrating and can cause you to give up. As you implement a variety of suggestions and solutions, make sure you track which ones are working and which ones are not.

Give each one enough time to have an effect on your body and mind. You want to be methodical with the implementation of an energy action plan.

"Coping with Keto Flu While Trying to Lose Weight "

The dreaded keto flu is nothing to panic about. While uncomfortable and mildly annoying, this is a natural reaction by the body when you suddenly minimize your intake of carbs drastically.

The majority of people are used to a diet that’s mostly comprised of carbs followed by smaller portions of protein and an even smaller percentage of fat. However, when you get on a ketogenic diet, you’ll be turning the tables on your diet and doing the total opposite.

80 to 90 percent of your daily calories will come from fat, and the remaining 10 percent will be from protein with a miniscule portion of carbs, if any. This is something that will come as a shock to most people. The body is just not used to the diet.

Here are some of the keto flu symptoms you may experience while trying to make the change:

* Body aches
* Cramps
* Difficulty concentrating/focusing
* Dizziness/drowsiness
* Fatigue
* Insomnia
* Irritability
* Nausea
* Stomach issues
* Sugar cravings

Millions of people are addicted to sugar and carbs. So, weaning yourself off these foods is akin to quitting an addiction and going cold turkey.

It’s inevitable to face some discomfort. The good news is that the keto flu is only temporary.

Within a week or two, your body will adapt and be able to function as normal with the higher fat intake and carb restriction. It’s imperative that you stay the course and not throw in the towel because of the keto flu symptoms.

Quitting will mean that your weight loss will take longer and will be more difficult. So, endure the symptoms till your body adapts.

* How to avoid keto flu

One of the best ways to adopt the keto diet will be to ease into it instead of making the switch overnight. You can start off with a low carb diet and give your body time to adjust.

Gradually, lower your carb intake and increase your fat intake till you’re on a keto diet. This will give your body time to adapt and you can escape the keto flu symptoms. Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard. Go slow.

It’s also essential that you stay hydrated. Drink sufficient water throughout the day and watch your caloric intake. You should be at a daily caloric deficit of about 500 calories. You do not want to go too low.

Don’t cut both your carbs and fats. That’s a recipe for a weight loss plateau. Instead, eat more healthy fats so that you’re meeting your calorie needs for the day.

* Coping with the keto flu

Should you get the symptoms mentioned above, there are a few ways you can alleviate the discomfort. Engage in exercise daily. This will improve your mood and get your blood pumping. Keep the exercise relaxed and gentle, like a brisk walk or a leisurely swim.

Drink some bone broth or mix some Himalayan salt in water and drink. The loss of sodium and electrolytes in your body could be causing some of the problems.

You may also wish to consume a magnesium supplement and eat foods that are rich in potassium (avocados, spinach, mushrooms, salmon, nuts).

If you follow the pointers above, you’ll be able to avoid keto flu or at the very least, you’ll be able to mitigate the symptoms.

Stick to the plan and give your body time to adapt. Once you’ve found your footing with the keto diet, you’ll become a fat burning machine, and that’s when the fun starts.

It seems an old fisherman stumbled across a talking frog while out fishing one day.

The frog said: "I'll turn into a ravishing beauty and fulfill your every desire, if only you'll kiss me." The fisherman scooped up the frog and put him in his pocket.

Later on, at a bar, he pulled the frog out and set the frog next to his beer. When the bartender overheard the frog repeat the offer, he asked the fisherman what he was waiting for.

The fisherman replied:

"At my age, I'd rather have a talking frog!"
