 How to have lots of energy
Congratulations on the changes you have already made! I agree with limiting or eliminating meat. I also find that my energy level is better when I watch my carbs--eliminating all simple carbs like junk food, white bread, potatoes--and eating only complex carbs. There is nothing like an upswing of the insulin response to carbs followed by the crash to take the energy out of the rest of my day. I exercise every day, but sometimes just walking for 30 minutes. I find that stress management is key to sleeping deeply and well. Yoga and meditation are great for that (focus on the breathing), as well as personal growth activities that help to guide your responses to things that occur so that the negative internal voice doesn't keep on chatting. I have found that my energy level is where I want it to be as a result of these changes.
