As an early Valentines day present I bought my wife the new Mac Book Air. A fantastic machine that has made both our lives a lot easier (For those of you thinking “who gives people electronics for Valentines, don’t worry, I also bought her roses!).
Now, no matter where we are in the house or in our travels with lil’ Brier, we can have access to the net. Add in the fact that her new mac book is thinner than my Black Berry, and only weighs 3 pounds, and you have the perfect computer for a new Mom on the go (Brier has a busier social schedule than any other 8 month old I know!).
Thanks to the MacBook Air, I was able to spend some time this morning reviewing The Conditioning Research Blog. A great blog that covers a lot of relevant information on fasting.
I noticed Chris ( the blog’s author) makes some comments about fasting and increased mental alertness and mental clarity.
I found this interesting because I have had a surprising number of people email me to tell me that they feel a heightened sense of energy and concentration while they are fasting.
It’s true. Many people following Eat Stop Eat have told me that they are their most productive when they are fasting.
Perhaps this is because they aren’t spending any time worrying about what and where they are going to eat next, or perhaps it’s because fasting increases circulating levels of the adrenal hormones. Either way, it seems that brief periods of fasting can be useful as a method of increasing both your energy and ability to concentrate.
Eat Stop Eat – An effective way to lose weight that is much easier than you might think, and that just might help you finish that major presentation in time!
