Are you sure it's your diet? I'd investigate lack of exercise before worrying about diet.
In my experience the act of sitting in front of a computer all day just makes me feel lethargic, no matter what I eat. I went on various forms super healthy diets and none of them really changed anything. I generally felt much better when I went to the gym for 2 hours before going into work. However, I felt even better on the days I didn't go into work at all.
I can eat garbage like nachos, beer, french fries and go snowboarding all day and feel on top of the world. I determined that sitting around all day is a slow death, and my body was letting me know.
- evo_9 16y agoThis works great up until about 35... after that you just can't put that kind of 'fuel' into your system and snowboard all day and feel great. For me (post 35)I like to eat a good omelet before I hit the terrain park; plus I don't have to stop for lunch with a belly full of protein.

- maxawaytoolong 16y agoI am over 35 and feel fine putting that kind of fuel into my system when I go snowboarding.
- evo_9 16y agoCool, are you in Colorado? We should ride sometime. Each there own on 'fuel' - that doesn't work for me and truthfully I just don't have the urge for that kind of food much these days, esp. if I'm about to go hiking, boarding, hockey, etc.
- maxawaytoolong 16y agoI have never been to Colorado. I mostly snowboard at Mammoth, but I moved to the east coast. I really only eat the nachos because that's the easiest thing to get at the lodge...
- evo_9 16y agoAh, gotcha, that's cool. Well if you are ever in Colorado ping me, seriously awesome mountains to ride and echo mountain is (I think) the first terrain park only hill in north america. fun stuff and a helluva workout too.
- baddiet_ 16y agoDing! I don't exercise. I've gone along with this myth that if you're thin, you don't need to as much. I'll be changing that up!
- tommizzle 16y agoCompletely Agree with the exercise part of this - I exercise before work most days, and it's unbelievable how much of a difference it makes. I also try to go for a walk around lunchtime rather than staying inside to eat. In terms of diet, I try to eat smallish meals every 3-3.5 hours. A nice mix of protein, complex carbs, vegetables, fruit, healthy fats like nuts etc works for me. I found the best way to avoid eating unhealthy stuff was simply not to buy it - sounds stupid but it's crazy how long it took me to do.
