OK — I know you probably think I am nuts — writing about diet on an internet marketing blog. But as I mentioned about exercise last week, adhering to a better diet can help to motivate you, even if you do nothing else.
The reason for this is that improving your diet will regulate your blood sugar, improve your focus, and alleviate any physiological distractions. Bottom line is that if you are eating right, you can think more clearly, and you will be better able to focus.
With fewer distractions, you will able to bring your full talents to bear on any project. You will see better results; and this will encourage you to work harder on new projects.
In addition to the direct effects on your productivity, you are also likely to find that your mood will improve once your diet improves. You may find yourself becoming more optimistic; and less bogged down in the challenges your project presents.
Eating better will improve your life. You'll lose weight too — and that will improve your self-esteem.
So, ditch that bag of chips and grab an apple next time.

I think this should really be part of a motivational tip because without proper care for your body how can you have the energy and the right mindset to do things that you want to do. Kudos to this post!
Good stuff Mark. The two tips I can chime in with diet – both of which really helped me – are 1) Add a basic protein to your breakfast such as a slice of lean turkey, and consume as little sugar as possible at breakfast, i.e. – put a turkey slice on your bagle rather than jam; 2) I substituted a protein shake at 9-9:30 a.m. for my second cup of coffee. Both have helped me significantly for almost a decade now – and both were doctor recommended!
