Does your diet affect your game?

I eat horribly. I'm really thin, because I don't eat much, and when I do eat, its almost never healthy food. I also smoke cigarettes. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Thanks for the tip about raisins. As for fish, I guess I could eat some of those Sushi packs I bought at Trader Joe's.

Never really thought of this. Ill have to test it out.

a healthy diet is how moneymaker and raymer won the wsop.

I eat lots of red meat all the time, even when I don't really want to. I believe my northern European/ Alcoholic family background points to a need for lots of red meat and the advanced fatty acids it contains.

I've had some mild-moderate mental problems in the past, and I belive this has helped to keep me more stable.

You'll get a lot more quality fatty acids from eating oily fish (like Salmon or Mackrel) than you will from eating red meat.

Just kidding...

Diet does affect EVERYTHING though. I was on a 6 week road trip several years back...we had been out west climbing and backpacking...eating mostly pasta, veggies, and peanut butter and jelly burritos. We stopped at a steakhouse in the middle of the trip(I LOVE steak)...well I felt SO sluggish and horrible after that meal - it took me two days to feel better, and that was only after about three weeks of not eating meat.

I'm looking for advanced w6 fats, not w3's.

doesn't it fight cancer?

Of course diet affects your game, though there's no particular reason why red meat should be a culprit. I'd be a lot more worried about stuff that causes an insulin spike.

Drinking a lot of water lets me play longer without headaches and with less getting tired. Apart from that I haven't tried many things. Sugar could help for a while, too, but when you really get tired, nothing really helps.
