A connection between food and success?

the connection is not a one size fits all type connection. Different body chemistries allow for different reactions to diet and consumption times.

For instance, myself, I eat close to 12,000 calories daily. Most of these calories are consumed in the form of shakes (MRD/S). I try to eat every 150-minutes. Sometimes that means getting up in the middle of the night and having a MRD/S.

Now, I find that if I am lacking in caloric intake and I opt to eat some garbage like a Whopper just before bed time I experience restlessness and have bad dreams. I tested this and logged each imnstance and found this to be the case 76% of the time. I tested this over a 90 day period.

Now, when I consume a balanced meal replacement drink/shake (MRD/S) I experience excellent sleep behavior and have a much more balanced nitrogen level as opposed to the latter.

Not to get too technical, and in summary what you eat affects you physiologically as well as psychologically. Diet is critical to success for many of us. Certain foods either add to or detract from us and our abilitites to function psychologically and physiologically too.

I Talked To Gary Halbert About This Product

If I eat too many carbs in relationship to protein, I get light headed and dizzy. Pasta without meatballs makes me a zombie. It has to do
with hormones, master hormones, etc. The zone books by Barry Sears are the best I've seen on how
to figure out your own individual needs. But basically, if you aren't hungry for 5 hours after
you eat, you're in the zone. If you're hungry in
less time than that, its one of two things.

If you are flighty, generally out of it, you ate
to much carbs or too little protein. If hungry
but sharp, too much protein or too little carbs.

Interestingly, someone, somewhere asked Melvin
Powers, if you're having trouble getting started in business, what to do. Melvin's answer was to
get on a diet and exercise program.

Sharon, Taylor, Joe,

Thanks for your responses! Essentially, what I was noticing was the high sugar / high carb thing which was mentioned....

If I eat a lot of sugars and starchy foods, I'm "light-headed" and also more sluggish than usual.... If I cut down on those foods, I not only think more clearly but I also feel more physically energetic too.

Another strange thing though.... I seem to write better promotional copy after having something sugary.... Maybe the "light-headedness" makes my words flow more smoothly, or perhaps I'm more in touch with my emotions or something like that in that state? Without it, I somehow feel too "rational" to write very good selling copy.... (I'm sure it's not just in my mind!)

It's also related to the stuff Gordon's been posting about diabetes too, I think. I've noticed these foods are generally high up on the "glycemic index" - that is, they make your blood sugar go up faster.

I also discussed this with Michael Ross as well.... Michael suggested that the sudden high blood sugar level causes your body to release insulin, which then depresses the blood sugar levels, and the subsequent lower blood sugar levels makes you feel "light-headed"....

Anyhow, I find this fascinating (and practical too)....

Thanks for your feedback! Anyone else experienced this kind of thing too?

Taylor,

MRD/S do you use? I've tried a variety of them and some are really way too sweet for me. Also, too many of them have Nutrasweet as an ingredient, which I avoid.

Thanks,
Bruce Arnold

Please define MRD/S for me first?

How Much Money Could YOU Have Made With This Information?
