Part 2 with Shawn Stevenson

  • How to prepare nutritionally for a tournament so we have the ability to focus

    • Don’t just be ready, stay ready. If you wait until the last moment to get things right you can’t be ready at any time.

  • During a Physician's study, people were given a task, and then they were sleep deprived for just 24 hours. It took them 14x longer to complete that same task after being sleep deprived. You also just aren’t as smart.

  • Are there different foods to help brain performance? Foods to learn towards?

    • Carbs are energy, but are they efficient? They are very fast processing, so you’ll have to eat more often every day.  Therefore, not the best choice.

      Fat is a much denser source of energy and is more sustainable. (Winner Winner!)

    • All in all, lower your carb intake, increase your dietary fats. You won’t get fat from eating it.

  • The most important thing is to understand that you’re unique. Figure out what your goals are and find the right things that work for you.

  • About ⅓ to ½ of your plate should be non-starchy vegetables.

  • Health book recommendation: The Calorie Myth
