[FRIAM] Another few ponderances

[Marcus Daniels]

I’d say the mental boost (from exercise) doesn’t kick-in until 45 minutes of sustained, reasonably-intense aerobic effort for me, and improves from there up until the point I get physically tired.  The mania passes in about an hour.   This is probably not just energy from the liver since I work out at night.   If for some reason I have to mental work all night, only a moderate amount of caffeine in addition will do that.   The combo is almost like a new day.

AAAH that might explain it! Yesterday I tried just a light meal (half bagle and PB) before going to planet  fitness for cardio less hyper afterwords. When I got to wedtech thought I might want a diet coke...and basicaly found not at all!
Hmmm...supposedly if you can concomitantly hit a flow like place some amount of bad fats gets turned into energy.I haven't a clue what the science says these days because that was from one of Maslows works back in the 90's if I am remembering correctly.

From what I've experienced of fasting (more than 36 hours ... not just skipping a meal now and then), I've gotten an energy *boost* from it.  I do crash harder after I finally do eat, though.  Some of the pop-sci literature also suggests we might enter something like a starvation state if we exhaust the glucogen stores in the liver.  And if you exercise before eating, then you're supposedly getting that glucose sugar from your liver.

Most of the actual science literature is still too far removed from day to day living to be very meaningful, in my opinion.  Although I just noticed Marcus' list and haven't followed those links, yet.
