Carbs and coffee.
And chocolate, nicest combo of both.
Instant energy, and necessary to stay awake.
Detoxed from coffee during burn-out, which gave me a chance to sleep until I wasn’t tired anymore,
Recently switched to paleo/primal diet and eat very little carbs, because I came from 95% carbs.
This gives me a more even energy, and no hungerpains-light headedness when hungry.
My stomach isn’t bloated anymore and I am losing weight. All good!
And imminent deadlines – the adrenaline rush made me focus.
Doesn’t work long term though, the burn-out from longterm stress was a result.
Oh and alcohol, but that was maybe more to justify the unproductiveness while being hungover.
I was trying to write my thesis for BSc.
