A quick "pick me up"

[Ace]

While I am at work, I generally get very tired and lethargic which makes me in a general bad mood. My diet is usually right on target, but I need something during the day that will give me a little more energy so I don't feel so tired.

I suppose I could get some candy with dextrose in it, but I don't think I need simple carbs during the day.

What do you guys think?

Red Bull and lots of it ;)

u could try a BK shake instead of the Oj next time.

you could either eat more often, or add some more carbs to your meals to get you through.

supplement with some Ginseng?

[NPursuit]

ephedrine or caffeine would be my choices.

[GhettoSmurf]

drink some caffiene

IMHO i wouldnt want to have my insulin spiking throughout the day.

know the feeling well......I'm not pimping anyone thing but I use a stacker2 about 3:00 in the afternoon .....depending on what you do at work I also try to get up and walk a little bit away from my desk.....(yawns) :D

I would not recommend the candy because you would get a boost of energy but you would also get a subsequent crash not too long after.

A cup of coffee usually does the trick for me:)
