“Real wealth is ideas plus energy.”
Richard Buckminster Fuller

If you seen my goals then you will have seen the one that says "My improved nutrition and exercise regimes are giving me considerable improvements in motivation and energy." I suppose this is more of an affirmation than a goal, but nonetheless it's happening and it's real. I get up at 6:15 each day and I'm engaged in something constructive until 9:00 in the evening. This is great for getting stuff done.

I think there are two aspects to the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle programme that bring this about. Firstly, your new exercise and nutrition habits increase your base metabolic rate. If you are generating more energy then you can do more work, more physically and mentally. Secondly, the nutritional practices mean that the energy burns at a constant rate and you don't get a succession of highs and lows over the course of the day.

Now, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is primarily targetted at those people who are interested in losing some weight. Goodness know there are plenty of people like that as a target audience. However, I think this programme could equally well be targetted at anyone who doesn't have the energy that they would like.

"Tired all the time" (TATT) is a modern day ailment which seems to affect a lot of people and which has a wide variety of physical and psychological causes. I'm not claiming that this programme is a cure for that syndrome, but I suspect that it could probably help in many cases. And similarly for anyone else who just has more days when they are 'flat' rather than 'buzzing' then I would say that this programme is definitely worth a try.
