Edit: and proper hydration is important for energy too!
- jorisboris 4y agoThanks for the feedback. What protein would you recommend, I used to binge on cashew and almond but they also contain fat? Google tells me eggs, lentils, chicken, spinach, ... is low on calories while high on protein.
- dieselgate 4y agocashews, almonds and other nuts are pretty high in fat. they're good in smaller amounts but probably not a good "staple" with weight loss in mind. In the US (and Canada?) protein powder from costco is a good deal, basically any type works - whey is common but also pea-protein is common. i personally don't eat meat so typically get protein from rice/beans, soy, wheat gluten, dairy, etc

Ive noticed that even when im not at my desk I am frequently still working in my head and the best way to refocus is something strenuous. I realize the question was geared to diet but everything with your person is so intimately entwined.
- jorisboris 4y agoDoing a 20 minute workout every morning. That and meditation / visualisation to set my intentions for the day. I notice if I do these two my discipline for dieting is much stronger. Would love to do more cardio (1-2 hours per day) but it just doesn't fit the schedule atm.
