Hey {{first_name|bro}},
I’m really hungry right now.
I haven’t eaten all day BUT I have worked all day.
Honestly, I’ve been super locked in and (we’ll see tmr) I think I wrote pretty good copy.
Yeah, maybe it’s because I’ve just been given some work so that could’ve effected things but tbh I think it’s because I fasted.
Why?
Well, there are two main reasons…
IDK what it is but you just do better work when you’re not eating (I think it’s that your body isn’t digesting something so you have more energy in the short term)
I didn’t have to waste energy deciding what to eat
Now you’d think that I would be distracted but honestly, I wasn’t.
You just resist food for like 5 min then forget about it and then when you get up, you’re hungry… but you just don’t eat.
So try it.
