I need some diet help. I used to be able to function and work for 8+ hours a day every day when I was in school. Now I feel tired without taking a bunch of supplements. I think my diet is lacking because when I stopped lifting and eating for that lifestyle everything went down hill. I take a lot of nootropics. Some of the medication I've been prescribed over the years causes more and more side effects the longer one is on it. I have no desire to mention what this is. Any alternative has the same or more side effects. At this pont my goal is to eat for optimal brain function. Everything else is second. I was thinking a keto type diet as eating carbs causes brain fog. There's very few carbs that don't. Aside from kombucha, anything with carbs is detrimental for me. Below is the diet I had in college that was custom designed for me. I found it in one of my old emails. Is there any improvements I could make on this?
