I've tried a variety of diets over the years, and none have changed my mind so far as I can tell in the slightest. I'm tempted to generally write off such claims as placebo effects.

Some people are more susceptible to the possible negative effects of roller-coasting bloodsugar levels. I'm one of them. If you aren't, be happy. There are indeed quite a number of things that are more amusing than getting panic attacks because you skipped breakfast.

I'd say a barrier to most people is a lack of
discipline. You got to pick it up and stick to it.

If you have to use discipline (eg willpower) to stick to your plan you're doing
something wrong. After a couple of days it should have become:

Routine

Routine is a part of discipline, if you ask me.

But yeah. Form it, establish it, live it. (:

Oh, and to tag onto DaraghM's point of sleep...
It's believed that your brain does lots of crazy memory type things when you sleep. It
may be important for storing things into long term memory, creating links between data
you learned through out the day, etc.

Ever woke up and that one particular pesky part of a language you've been trying to
learn suddenly seems second nature?

Yeah. Sleep's essential.
