Interesting read; their conclusion is that "People performed just as well on cognitive tests measuring attention, memory and executive function whether they had eaten recently or not."

Then there is still hope! If the government stays shut down for a couple more months, and there’s no SNAP benies, all those Democrat voters will actually get healthier and smarter! Win/win!

Fasting improves mental clarity. It also produces an energy buzz after a 2-3 days.

So it’s better to eat yourself into oblivion.

I do intermittent fasts everyday in that I only eat one meal a day, usually before noon—sometimes before 9:00 or 10:00 AM. Sometimes I fast for a few days. My mental acuity is always significantly sharper fasting.

A meal often makes me slightly sleepy.

I eat low carb BTW.

Matcha, Rhodiola and L-Tyrosine is what keeps me energized throughout my day despite the fact that I do 18:6 fasting every day (I eat last meal at 6pm and next at noon next day).

I went from 215 lbs to 150 (with semi-regular exercise). When I switched from coffee to Matcha, I finally lost the belly fat that would not go away. Matcha has caffeine+theanine and EGCG which studies have shown can double your calorie burn. I use a frother with the matcha and water, with almond milk and Allulose (RX Sugar), which is the one of the only calorie-free sweeteners that has not been linked to heart issues.

These are what I use:

Pure Encapsulations Rhodiola Rosea - Endurance & Fatigue Relief
