For most, it begins to even out as Famine goes on. This is highly individual but I'd be curious to see if you experience it. If possible, save as many calories as you can for later in the day. Caffeine, etc during the day does help..

im fine during the day hey, its just for the workout i wasnt feeling it.

im saving a few more cals for right now (end of day pre workout) to give me some energy to do a workout.

i might try some sugar free energy drinks tomorrow, if i start to drain during the day.

so is a pre workout a massive nono during famine i guess... im just gunna smash down a caffeine tab

p.s. really enjoyed the incline db curls, never done them before but like the isolation in them.

Glad you liked those curls scump..

A. This is fine PROVIDED you tolerate it well and no pre-existing conditions present... I take advantage of them myself but am hesitant to recommend since we're all so different. I don't know how you react to mixed nuts.. have a friend who almost died from them! I can eat big handfuls with no problems...

lol yeah i understand your hesitence.

but its ok i have a high tolerance for caffeine... when i was animal M-stak (high caffeine) i was still taking white flood pre-workout without any caffeine sides (lol nuts).

and have experience caffeine OD symptoms in the past so know what to look out for lol.

big night out on the town (alcohol+++).

yeah i missed a famine workout, so i done it the next day... which means i had to extend it all by another day to still have the day break between workouts.

i can not wait untill tomorrow!!!! im going to eat everything in sight!
