Nutrition: Maintaining Weight Loss, Hydration, Bottled Water - the source, Water Filtration

Drop the diet for two weeks
This information does comport with the information showing that the human body adapts to dietary changes by adjusting metabolism so if you cut calories down and stay there your weight loss will level off.  It works better to vary your intake overall and changing patterns.

Be careful of the Tom Brady hydration method
As an athlete you should stay hydrated and whatever recommendations are given for office workers that don't sweat you should take into account that you do.  Drink water often and especially if you are perspiring and staying active.  Heat exhaustion is no fun and can risk heat stroke by losing too many liquids and not replacing them.

Sleep Deprivation Reduces Depression
When I grew up they called this work.  You have a job that requires you to get up early or in some cases work through the night and lo and behold you have no energy to be depressed.  Plus your body tends to focus on objectives and the goal of getting through the day and getting the job done is enough to change your focus.  I'm sure there is a biochemical benefit as well, but your need to focus has to be a big component.  Add in some coffee and there you are, viola, less depression until you get your paycheck and notice all the taxes, fees, and healthcare expenses taken out.

Bottled Water 
The source matters and of course the resources directed toward it raise the cost.


Water Filtration - Here is another option.

My favorite it the Berkey system.  I've used this countertop system for the past three years and have found it an excellent alternative to bottled water.  Take the water you have and make it good tasting and safe.

Wealth: Time for Your Life's Work

Money=Agency=Freedom

If you want to be a tennis coach, instructor, or simply have the time to play  in your adult years then wealth is a great source of power to follow your desires.

So, looking at wealth in a certain way that gives you freedom to live life as you want means spending less time on accumulating things on more time on putting together a means of income that will offer you the time and freedom to do what you want.

One way to understand what this means is to imagine what you would do if you won the lottery with enough money to quit work and do whatever you wanted to do.

Tom Brady Diet: Tennis Players Should Take Note

Tom Brady Diet

This diet comports with the current recommendations to limit carbs that cause inflammation. The type of food you eat determines benefits and problem.  He also focuses on food combinations.  This is a long known approach to good digestion and excellent use of nutrients used by certain natural food adherents.  The concept is that when you combine fruits with proteins, or vegetables the body is challenged to effectively digest each of these nutrients since each requires a different balance of digestive acids to make use of them.

Here is one early proponent of good digestive food combinations called the hygienic system by Dr. Herbert Shelton.

Here is a critical analysis of such an approach to food combinations that essentially says it is not correct.

It's hard disagree with Brady when it comes to maintaining longevity and performance so take aways some ideas from him and use what you can.  I like the shakes.
