I'm working out hard for 30 minutes a day and completely changed my diet for last 2 weeks but still feel depressed with no energy?

[Anonymous]

Am I doing something wrong?

I took a blood test and all levels are fine.

I have depression but I've been working out and cut out 90% of sugar too. I used to eat so much sugar and fast food.

Now my diet consists of fish, quinoa, lots of fruit and vegetables, sweet potatoes, eggs, green homemade smoothies, peanut butter etc

Exercise is a mix of weights and cardio

[Anonymous]

bulk up on carbs bread pasta you already eat rice but also eat peanut butter and ice cream also eat pretzels chips stuff like that. when you eat protein all you're doing is losing weight or maintaining it. look why don't you give my approach a chance for a month and see what happens. and get rid of the dairy it'll keep bloating you. get rid of the milk and cheese since it bloats you and puts on unhealthy body fat.

Chips pretzels and ice cream are bad for me. Why would I eat that.

[Asker]

You're not a good person

[Opinion Owner]

chips are either tortilla corn chips or potato chips made of potatoes and ice cream is milk sugar and other stuff not really that bad but that's how you put the weight on

[Opinion Owner]

look you're what is called a hard gainer it's hard for you to gain weight and muscle. try using creatine to help you bulk up

[Asker]

I need to lose 14 pounds i never said I need to gain. I want to lose weight but also to change my mental health. Changing my diet and exercise I still feel the same

[Opinion Owner]

oh well if you need to lose 14lbs then you need to go with proteins chicken fish beef turkey poltry protein shakes go easy on the carbs though

[Opinion Owner]

that bit of information would of helped before i gave my answer that you needed to lose weight not gain it

[Asker]

Well you assumed. I was talking about depression

[Opinion Owner]

no..

[Opinion Owner]

you might be doing too much. Maybe take a couple of days off and see if you feel better.

It dont just fix your depression it helps but u can't just cure it

[Asker]

What else can be done

[Asker]

I'm journaling. Speaking to s therapist and doing cognitive behavioural therapy. I care too much what people think and worried people are staring at me all the time finding it hard to change that

[Shamalien]

@boggboss wrong. Stop listening to shitty modern medicine

[Shamalien]

Just keep going. It takes longer than 2 weeks. Maintain the routine, you’re doing well

[boggboss]

Yes I'll pick and choose what works or don't work because like yourself because we know the science 👍🏽

[boggboss]

Continue what's u are doing if u are already in therapy also take notes to if u see improvement and also understand there is no quck fix to this type of stuff and that it mostly takes time

[In_Trance]

You're expecting results to fast; doesn't work that way

Give it 90 days

[Keishio]

2 weeks isn't enough time

[Asker]

How long

[Keishio]

3 months is usually a good measure to see physical progress. If it's a change in mental state I'm not too sure. Maybe instead of just doing a 30 minute workout for exercise you could join a rock climbing group or some other kind of group physical activity. You get your exercise in and get to mingle which could work wonders for your state of mind
