Comment on Ask HN: Do you have a high level of energy throughout the day?

Comments

A largely raw food diet might be great for a lot of things, but it's not necessarily going to be great for energy.

Make sure you're getting enough protein, and then enough nutrients generally to fuel your body at the right rates.

For some people this means a lot of slow-digesting grains, other people do better with less carbs and more fats.

And then some people need more to keep their blood sugar from being too low, whether it's bananas and honey at the start of the day or crackers between meals or whatever.

My biggest advice is that energy can be very linked to diet, and don't be ideological about it. Experiment widely and figure out what works best for you. It's truly bizarre just how differently different people respond to different proportions of macronutrients, or things like raw vs cooked, or things like intermittent fasting.
