Hazzell,

My brain fog is more connected to getting good sleep. I may get a tired or weak brain from lack of food energy. One of my current snack foods is black olives. Peanut butter on crackers or toast has been my energy for years but I like the weight I am losing by not eating it anymore. Sometimes, I will have a cheese stick. It will allow me to sleep well.

I have recently begun to believe I wake in the morning because I need food energy, not because I am rested. After breakfast, I feel like I need a nap, especially if I spend any time reading online.

The many permutations of behavior needed to live today never ceases to amaze me. The old saying "You are what you eat" is incomplete. It should be "You are what you eat and how you react" or something like that.

What do you think?
