It varies from person to person, but in general you are tired throughout the day atleast I was. It is combated with the addition of 4-ad. There have been a ton of posts concerning this subject do a search under m1t* and you will find plenty of information. Make sure to add the * because the search function only works with four letters.

Do some research. Hell, there are hundreds of threads on M1T and lethargy/sides. there are much worse sides then simple lethargy. Also, of course caffeine will help. Use your freakin head.
For a more speculative question: Does anyone feel that the inclusion of fats seems to help with M1T sides? Eating eggs in the morning always makes me subjectively feel better, and olive oil/coconut oil seem to do the same. Also, I was never that lethargic throughout a CKD with M1T. Coincidence or something else? I know it fcks with your cholesterol levels, and while food cholesterol does not necessarily mean blood c levels, is there some connection?

Yes! I noticed this too. I started eating eggs every morning pre-workout, and I noticed it helped some. But then I decided to bump up calories a bit and started taking a tablespoon of MCT oil before each workout and I noticed a huge difference. I felt more in-tuned to the workout and was able to sustain a high intensity much longer.

Interesting, I hope someone can chime in here.

I found that reducing food volume consumed helped mainly by smoothing out the digestive process. Reduced bloating pressure on internal organs/muscles etc. I got quite a few overall bodyache/cramps/systemic problems from M1T. All managable/moderate. One of the ways I reduced volume was by including more fat part of the time and less fiber/cho. So indirectly, yep it helped me.
A lot of the satisfaction from including fats like you mention may be coming from the mouth feel and added flavor. I feel great after eating loads of fat too, but it doesn't work as a good appetite suppressant for me (since it doesn't keep insulin high/stable).
For many people the appetite suppression is really strong and adding fat could acutely counteract that very nicely, especially stuff like eggs and coconut butter/milk.
I'd like to hear from more folks on this as well.
