On cycle/diet. No energy..
Ok, i dont know if this would be the right thread for this topic. But i need a little help.. So first thing first. Im at 11% body fat and am trying to work my way down 5-7% and stay there while on cycle while off. Im on a carb cycle right now. Without going into huge detail. Im eating 6 meals a day right now. No more junk, no sugar at all. Im carbing off then carb one for 1 day. To sum up my diet with out getting into it. Lean meat, rice veggies. Everything is being weighed out. My cycle is Test Cyp 200mg e3d/ Eq 300mg e3d I started my 3rd week yesterday. My last cycle i had my test at 500mg and i only needed 12.5mg aromasin eod with estrogen sitting at 15 on a scale from 0-39. Every cycle ive struggled getting ai in tune. I either start ai to soon and crash it or start to late and its high. This time i think its too high and didnt start earlier enough. Ive learned to read the signs of both. So i took a dose of 12.5mg today and will continue till i get blood work. No this is my first time on a serious diet where i cut out all sugar and salt and idk if its the diet or the cycle or estrogen. No energy, pretty blah, dont wanna workout and a little anxious. What is it? Is it my body detoxing from sugar and junk or is it estrogen and eq? Need some experiences here guys.

Welcome to the world of a low carb diet and low bodyfat. Just going to have to power through it.
Another question...Why in the world do you want to get down to 5%BF? No body in there right mind would do that unless they are competing or something. You definitely can't maintain that. If you don't have energy now, you are really going to be a hurting unit once you start dropping more BF and lowering carbs even more.
The more I think about everything I need to change stuff up..
Why are you trying to cut down to 5-7%? Not particularly realistic to maintain.
As Vike said below, you're body is no doubt screaming out for sugars / simple carbs etc. You will adjust.
I would bet money that you are suffering withdrawal symptoms from dropping sugar/salt.... gonna take a while to get your metabolism fully in kilter again bro.
Are you drinking plenty?.............. because you should be .... metabolite issues from lack of salts will occur and the drop in sugar will answer the energy issues.
Bloods will answer the E2 issues..... but i tend not to think its the problem .
The stack is not that serious so i would not batter Ais..... slightly elevated estro is way better than dipping low.
That's what I was thinking.. but wow. I don't want to get off the couch. I was told to make sure I get a gallon of water down ed. How long you think it would take to get back to normal?
bro i even condone cheat meals when a guy is prepping for a show, what i suggest you do is hit some sugars and fast digesting carbs now........... i mean come on its not like you a show this weekend and must endure feeling like shit.
This lifestyle is about enjoyment .... i bet if you carb up tonight you will feel better almost immediately, enjoy what you are doing bro no need to enter a world of pain unless its imperative to the goal .
