No I suck at everything if I'm starving

Funny, I've thought about this - but in a different way.

Tolle describes the mind always wanting to focus on the next thing, if i'm at least subconsciously focusing on being hungry, then I can't focus on the next thing in the life of male animal - mating. I'm not worried and become less nervous it seems. Also, a bit more tired, but in an apathetic way that allows me not to worry about blowing a set.

That said, I don't go hungry, just noticed this when I'm not as 'full' as usual.

Wouldn't work for me. I'd be eating while talking to her. :)

That is the human body for you. Starving makes you smarter, to insure survival. Just like you're saying. I'm sure you can find several studies on this topic, if you google it.

I improve at a lot of things on an empty stomach. I think it's biological. Your body wants you in top form to catch game.

Scott Adams post on this topic

This makes sense from an evolutionary view. As soon as you feel hunger coming on, your body is designed to put you into your most creative and energetic mode for the purpose of hunting and gathering. If you can't outrun your prey, you have to outthink it. And if there are no bananas in your usual tree, you'd better have a creative idea where to look next. It makes sense that the onset of hunger would stimulate your brain to its highest operating level.

My theory is that when your body experiences the early stages of hunger, you become more creative, and more energetic. (Obviously at the later stages of hunger you become sleepy, cranky, distracted, and probably less creative. Let's call that starvation and not hunger.)

I came to this theory after two decades of watching how my own diet influences my energy and personality. One pattern is remarkably clear: My creativity and energy are highest when I haven't eaten much lately.

Nope, I get what they call being "Hangry". Angry because I'm hungry. No but for real I just love food.

I get REALLY fucking awesome and on my game when I'm hung over.

I have sprouts of being more focused when lacking sleep. Kind of falls into the same place. A decrease in energy. A lot of personal trainers and nutritionous will say your body goes into starvation mode after 4 hrs after eating. Though we don't notice this and the word starvation is much worse then what we experience after 4 hrs, it happens. So possibly your brain is able to focus more on what it wants more clearly. It's always been food in cave folk days. They would naturally become more innovative on how to capture food. Today it's ass. Or money. A lot people became very successfull after being broke as hell.

before you go out, eat easily digestible high-energy foods.

i've found that eating fruit, and even snacking on fruit periodically while im out (instead of pizza or halal food) is an excellent way to keep your energy level up.
