I would advise strongly against this. Eating lots of sugar will cause a spike in the glucose levels in your blood which will probably only make you hungry, fatigued and irritable, and even if it doesn't sugar is not going to help at all. If you want my recommendation for supplements then I would say cod-liver oil pills and magnesium. Of course carbohydrates are an essential part of everyone's diet but sugar is quite literally the worst alternative. Reasoning between my picks: Cod-liver oil -lots of vitamins and healthy fats, there have been some implications that taking these supplementarily might improve brain function Magnesium -elementary in the function of the nervous system Probably needless to say but I'll say it anyway; never just start taking supplements because someone on the internet told you to, read into the possible effects and side-effects of each supplement before deciding whether that's something you want to put in your body. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I disagree with your opinions on sugar. I get most of my health information from a website that has these articles,
about sugar and fish oil: http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/glucose-sucrose-diabete s.shtml http://raypeat.com/articles/nutrition/oils-in-context.shtml People often say that fruit is healthy and refined sugar isn't. Refined sugar is derived from plants (sugar beets, for one), and there's no chemical reason that it would be unhealthy--sucrose is a combination of glucose and fructose. Cod liver oil is probably very bad for brain health. It contains a large amount of poly unsaturated fats (PUFAs), which become incorporated into the brain tissue, oxide quickly at the body's high temperature, and cause serious damage. There was a study in which they tried to prove that giving fish oil to pregnant mothers would produce more intelligent babies; instead they found that the babies were less intelligent than the control group in every aspect. Saturated fats are healthy fats for mammals like us. This information is mostly from Ray Peat. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Possibly good information, although I didn't say fruit is healthy and refined sugar isn't (that is silly); "lots of sugar" (using the exact words you used) doesn't seem like a good idea, since the daily need for so called "simple sugars" is, according to some, not high enough so as to warrant consuming more than what a normal diet would yield. As far as I've seen, there are mountains of evidence that too much sugar in diet can cause all sorts of negative effects in the body, perhaps most notably decreased insulin response.
Regarding nutrition, everyone seems to have an opinion and I'd be hesitant to trust any one person. I'm not inclined to take this discussion any further than this, as it is derailing the thread. Edited by Henkkles on 26 May 2014 at 12:18pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The brain usually runs on glucose. Eating a lot of sugar (300-400 g per day) is good for thinking and learning.

Eating more than 300g of carbs per day will get you fat in no time if you are living a sedentary life (which is implied by doing L-R for hours). It might help your thinking (I don't know), but is it worth the side effects? Edited by daegga on 26 May 2014 at 1:15pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You know you’re a language nerd when it definitely is! The originator of the method used the schedule like this:
And L-R is not for a very prolonged time anyway. Edited by Dragon27 on 26 May 2014 at 2:35pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm a regular weight and eat a lot of sugar. There are a lot of scientific and statistical arguments you can make for
vegetable oils causing obesity, not sugar. I just finished the second Harry Potter book. I spent about 3 hours listening to Harry Potter 1 in my car, which was somewhat difficult without being able to consult the English text. I think it might have been a mistake for me to only do HP 1 once, rather than 3 times. But using the English along side it, it's just not that interesting from a literary or artistic point of view to keep me interested many times around. I don't mind listening to the Spanish when driving since at that point I'm interested in the new language more than the story. A really good literary book would be ideal for multiple passes, but I'm having trouble finding one with a Spanish audiobook. Thanks for the audiobook websites, but albalearning for instance only has short stories. I couldn't find any novels. I'm not adverse to buying some audiobooks but I haven't found anything in my searches. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you want to buy audio books in Spanish look on audible.com they have tons. They also have a program where they give away two free audio books free when you sign up and create new account.
