We need a solid schedule of sleep - that would probably be the first step. When we combine sleep with eating healthy, it will give you enough energy in the long run.....a change in diet will help but it will take some time to kick in. Every study says caffeine, sugars, and the like aren't good substitutes for just living healthy.

For me, I don't recommend anything out of the normal......steak, chicken, fish, pork, rice, pasta, and vegetables are the staples of my supper. I just mix it up. Also, having some fun with it will help your approach to it.

Put a menu together beforehand and then just go through the store and get what you need. IMO, you don't have to eat "super healthy", just normal. One thing I DO watch closely is my salt intake - I take 1200 lithium a day but I've never been a salt guy anyway. My BP is abnormally low. And I have anger issues. Go figure!

Anyway, a week for me looks like this -

-Baked chicken with tater tots and broccoli, cookies
-Cod with rice and asparagus, more cookies
-Pasta primavera (carrots, more asparagus, mushrooms), cupcakes
-Pizza and a salad, frozen Hershey's kisses (oh yeah)
-Grilled steak with a baker and zucchini or spinach, ask my kids for candy

I also eat plenty of eggs, bacon, yogurt, granola bars, and Pop Tarts, mostly for breakfast. Lunch is soup, maybe a sandwich but no cold cuts.

All right! Rock on!
