No energy! new dieting?

[UlteriorFiasco]

So I did my bullking for about 2 months with creatine, i'd take 5-6grams of creatine before or after my workout, and my diet was always tuna/salmon, chicken, peanut butter sandwhiches, and...that was about it. oh and alot of water!!!

now im off my bulking phase i guess you could call it, i got bulked up just enough for now, and now i want to get more definition, lower my bf%, and get cut. So i stopped taking creatine, and i got on Lipo 6. Now my diet is mainly just a bagfull of veggies in butter(steamed! and 45calories!), chicken and grilled steak. The thing is, the Lipo 6 cut down my appetite so much im almost eating once a day only. i take 2 pills in the morning, 2 in the after noon before my workout, after my workout i eat. But when i workout now, i have almost no energy at all. it's like my pumping power has gone down to 0 !
its tempted me to get back on creatine so i can gain my energy back because it gave me alot of that! but creatine also retains water which will pretty much neutralize my cutting phase.

so...any ideas anyone? i appreciate any feedback thanks!

p.s- i also did cardio, HIIT. always running atleast 4 miles...now i cant run because i havnt the energy

Creatine will NOT affect your cut.

If you're cutting go about with a 400-500 calorie deficit. It seems that your diet now is well below maintenance and probably very low on carbs.

Take your cut easy and slow. Eating only once a day is a huge no no. This makes your body save onto the energy you feed it even more because it thinks that you're starving it, which you are. Eat more meals and make them smaller to boost up your metabolism.

My advice, if you really really want to keep taking the Lipo 6, would be just eat more smaller meals and if you're still feeling down and weak, have a re-feed day. Take one day of the week to take in a whole ton of carbs to make sure you have the energy to complete your workout during the week.

Creatine makes you bloat. Which makes you look fat, while actually losing fat. It is water though.
