Keep in mind that energy does not really come from sugar. True, if you eat a candy bar before a big test or your next workout, you will have a bit of a boost of energy. However, soon afterwards, you will also have a big fall out as your blood sugar drops. If you truly want some natural energy, eat a bit of organic fruit such as an apple, a pear, citrus fruit, or some berries (not juice). These will give you a smaller spike of blood sugar, but it will last longer and there will be no dramatic crash afterwards.
For all day energy, eat some complex carbs with a bit of healthy fat and a small amount of protein. For example, eggs, walnuts, flax oil, olive oil, avocados, almond butter, and sweet potatoes are all very easy for the body to digest and will give you sustained energy all day long.
Don’t forget that after a long day at work or post-exercise, you need some amino acids to help replace the nitrogen in the body and allow your muscles to build themselves back up. This is where vegetable carbs, chicken, pork, beef, or eggs come in. You can also add whey protein to your diet by adding some to vegetable juices or smoothies.
Many athletes like as Ray Allen and LeBron James have started taking this kind of nutritional advice to heart, and they are getting results! The thing is, you don’t have to be an athlete to get the benefits of a natural organic diet made up of real food.
Try it for 30 days. Just 30 days! Make out a plan and a grocery list for each week to cover 30 days. If, after that time, you don’t feel any difference, you can always go back to your old diet. Quitting sugar is going to be the most difficult part but those cravings disappear after about three days.
