What the h*ll is WRONG WITH ME!!!

[MrRTTB]

After every meal I eat I get so freaking tired and my legs feels like jelly. I eat low GI food and lots of It. I'm bulking and eating aprox. 1000-1500cals over my mainenance calorie intake.
I'm not doing much cardio, just morningwalks 3 times per week before breakfast for only 30 minutes. I sleep about 8 hours per day. I'm starting to get scared, maybe I've developed diabetes...Anyone got this problem?
I'm on a EQ/durabolin/winny cycle...5 ½ weeks in(just started winny 2 days ago)

 

[MrRTTB]

Do you think It's the T3 I've been on now for 4 weeks 12.5mcg per day??

I know that when I am eating huge quantities I get lethargic and often quite breathless.

It's pretty normal esspecially for those that eat clean while bulking. Eating clean requires mounds of fodd in order to get the necessary calories. When you eat blood is preferentially sent to the stomach, intestines, and liver for digestion and transport. After a big meal a lot of blood is diverted in this fashion thus your periphery (legs/arms/brain) is "robbed" of blood. If you're eating low GI carbs it is inlikely to be due to hypoglycemia, however many AS have glucose dosposing capabilities which will take glucose out of the blood(less for the brain) and shuttle it into myocytes for glycogen synthesis. T3 speeds this process up. T3 increases metabolism and thus glycogensis and protein sythesis is sped up. Again, blood glucose is thus cleared more rapidly. Digesting bulking qunatities of food takes a good deal of energy. The body has to work to get the nutrients into usable forms. Though not a volintary process it still takes energy from the body. Bulking is hard work. Eating becomes a full time job and it places a great metabolic demand and work load on the body. If you're training hard, eating clean, and are in good health diabetes is quite inlikely. More than likely it is low blood glucose(though not hypoglycemia), blood diversion, and an increased metabolic demand caused both by all the eating and the AS.

Are you on high amounts of ALA by any chance??? That will make you extremely tired if you go overboard with it..

 

[MrRTTB]

No I'm not on ALA..

Thanks for the replies..

T-3 makes me into a zombie, talk about lethargic

 

[CHARCHECK]

beezers thanks for ythe explanation..I thought I was going insane as well, I am in sales and after that 10:am meal, I can almost fall asleep in my car and I thought something was wrong with me...I also feel hypoglycemic at times when i cannot eat right at 2 hours after my last meal...sweats, stomach ache, headache, dizzy...It feels somedays like my insulin secretion in my body is so high, that if I am not eating all day i will bottom out...Thanks for clarification

I believe that beezers summed it up pretty well. Sounds like you will just have to deal with it while bulking. Does not sound like you should be alarmed.
