A connection between food and success?

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?
