How to use Food as fuel to optimize your motivation and energy | Sn: 1 / Ep: 9
What and when should you eat? Keto diets, Paleo diets, intermittent fasting days, so many options! For myself, if I want to optimize for motivation and energy. I consume meals for fuel. I used to skip breakfast thinking I was saving time, then I’d binge lunch of a burger or slice of pizza, and by the time it was dinner I would eat a big meal. What I experienced was a range of swings of glucose—the fuel for your brain—as I’d go from waking up to low glucose to flooding my body with carbs, and then the inevitable carb crash. It's important to be aware how food affects you so that you can be at your best. Do you eat food for favor or fuel? Enjoy what you eat is important. However how do we have a strong, healthy, energized mind, body, soul for the rest of your life? I believe it's important to develop a mindset of self-awareness and present in the moment, so that you can consciously make a decision based on what matters most to you, your values, your principles, your vision, rather than habit of automatically react to your emotions, thoughts and actions.
