Im eating once a day, I always feel really weak and tired and emotional, I get hallucinations and im scared?

(End of my answer...) Now, if you’re weak just because you have a poor diet (like eating junk food) and you’re sedentary (not exercising = lack of muscle mass), you will feel weak and drained all the time. You can be completely out of shape and just going up some stairs, you will feel your leg muscles and think “gosh! I wish there was an elevator?

Or you can be in shape (takes a few months to go from one to the other) and ski down slopes without even feeling your leg muscles. You can triple or quadruple your physical strength in about 3 months with weight training, depending on which muscle you’re talking about (just doing calisthenics and using small free weights for women). Then when you’re fit, you’re carrying a grocery bag or a kid and thinking...gosh, this is so light!

You won’t feel weak and drained anymore, but strong and fast (plus you’ll be toner and thinner). Do not have a “diet” diet, where you’re told what to eat, just eat healthy, have a simple healthy diet, so you can satisfy your cravings and answer your body’s need for some missing nutrients. If I’m building muscle mass, I’ll need a lot of carbs to do the weight training (because it’s anaerobic and fat burning shuts down) and then I’ll get huge cravings for eggs, nuts or a good juicy filet mignon (need for protein for the “repairing stronger” part) otherwise, I would only eat eggs or meat like once a week.

Eating healthy is about avoiding the unhealthy food as much as possible. Once you stay away from fast food (any restaurant food, really), packaged and boxed food (except for bread, pasta and rice, if you don’t make your own bread/pasta), canned food, prepared and processed food, then you’re left with the fruits/veggies, whole wheat food (the brown kind of bread, pasta), brown rice, legumes (beans, peas, lentils, peanuts, peanut butter, including soy milk and tofu that comes from soybeans which are legumes), lean meat, low fat dairies, eggs and the good kind of oil (olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil, corn oil and also olives, avocadoes, nuts, fish). You can have any of the bad stuff occasionally so they don’t become forbidden obsessions.

Have some French fries, or one slice of pizza (with your favorite veggies) or a cookie, once in a while. Just don’t do it every day and watch out for portion sizes. Canned food is okay if you use it to enhance a recipe.

Like canned tomatoes have more antioxidants than fresh ones as they are more concentrated. I also use canned corns in my recipes. And I like canned asparagus with canned beets (in a salad with vinaigrette).

I tried fresh (steamed) asparagus and beets but I prefer the soft texture on the canned ones. As long as your can is not some dreadful soup or prepared meal with tons of sodium. Also the cooking method can double the calorie content of a meal, so learn about healthy cooking without having to add extra fats, like using a steamer (using water), a rotisserie (using heat and herbs), a slow cooker (using homemade broth and herbs), a pressure cooker, a grill… Once you cook your own meals, you can control the calorie content because your control the cooking method and all the ingredients.

A lot of people are overweight because they keep eating food that they did not cook. Beware of “simple meals” out there (like the “30 minutes or less” kinds or the “4 ingredients or less” kinds) pushed by the food industry to shove their processed food down your throat. You often need one Tbsp of some processed bottle sauce (so you have to buy the whole bottle) or use cans and frozen packages veggies.

I find fresh broccoli much simpler to deal with than packaged frozen ones that don’t taste that good (both for the preparation and the expectation of the end result in your dish).

Make sure your feeling of weakness is not due to some underlying medical condition (get a medical checkup with blood and urine tests). Sometimes you feel weak and lack motivation because unbeknownst to you, your body’s immune system is busy fighting some bugs (like a cold or worse) and does not want you to do aerobics or weight train and divert energy to your muscles. If you force yourself, your immune system might be distracted and weaken so you’ll get sick when the bugs win.

When your immune system is busy, you should also get loss of appetite as your body does not want you to eat and divert energy to your very demanding digestive system (not eating is not having a poor low calorie diet if your body has more important priorities). Once I forced myself to eat while not being hungry just because it was time for a meal and also because I’m always experimenting on my body...usually, I listen to its signals (I ate a very healthy 6oz/80cal homemade fruit salad to take away the “junk food” equation). My stomach should have taken less than an hour to process my fruit salad...but 5 hours later, when I was pondering if I should eat again (still lacking appetite), I suddenly threw up my fruit salad and it was completely undigested FIVE hours later, not even smelling like vomit and all the fruits pieces were still recognizable.

My body just ignored my fruit salad, not even making stomach acids or churning it, and then gave it back to me like saying “I gave you loss of appetite and you still ate?! Nice Try! Just be glad I did not give you nausea because that was a nice salad...except that I’m busy with something else!” (I like to have imaginary conversations with my body...I’m Gemini).

Your body will also make your feel weak and drained if you exercise too much and ignore the “frustration” and “lack of motivation” signals that should tell you to slow down and rest, so if you try to keep going, then everything gets harder and you cannot progress. You could also feel weak if you don’t orchestrate your diet with your workout routine. During weight training, your body can only use sugar because weight training is intense.

You could never breathe hard enough to get enough oxygen to process fat cells which is why it’s anaerobic. But you don’t need oxygen to process sugar so that is what your body uses. Fat burning shuts down during weight training so you really need to eat a lot of carbs about 2 hours before your weight training session.

It is useless to weight train with a low blood sugar level as you cannot progress, it feels much harder and you feel weak (noodles arms and legs). Once (I was experimenting...as always), I weight trained without eating 2 hours before...It was laughable (really, I was so weak, I was laughing). Not only could I not progress (I usually always could add one or two reps each session when I’m building muscle mass) but I regressed and could not do as many reps as the previous session.

And I knew that I pushed myself hard enough the previous session (check), got sore (check), ate right (check), rested long enough (check) so I healed stronger and I WAS stronger (more muscle mass) but still, I could not improve and got nowhere because I had a low blood sugar level. (End of my answer coming up next...).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
