I used to be retarded.
I don’t mean literally, but what I mean is this…
I lost my ability to THINK, concentrate, and create.
I used to be a great blog artist.
And then?
I wasn’t.
For a number of years I was basically a functioning retard.
I couldn’t do ANYTHING that required brainpower.
I couldn’t do any mental work that exceeded two hours per day.
I couldn’t remember literally ANYTHING.
My brain was totally crippled and I couldn’t figure out why.
I would look at my beautiful work from the past in total despair, knowing that I did NOT have the ability to create more great work for the future.
My once proficient ability to create great work had left me, little by little.
Was it simply a case of writer’s block?
No.
The difference between writer’s block and my total retardation is this…
Writer’s block is simply a case of being TOO AFRAID to do the actual work.
On the other hand, I had completely lost the mental ability to do literally ANY work.
I. Could. Not. Do. Any. Mental. Work.
Writer’s block is a joke compared to what was going on in my brain.
There was a very REAL physical problem stopping me from doing the mental work I knew that I was capable of actually doing.
There was a mental fog that would simply NOT go away.
What agonized me was this question, “How can I make the brain fog vanish?”
I knew that when the fog vanished, I would be “back.”
And that’s EXACTLY what happened.
The fog vanished and I literally came back from the dead.
I’ve found the secret of ultimate mental clarity.
My work no longer suffers.
I can create and create and create for hours every single day.
I can read multiple books each day.
I can use my previously atrophied power of concentration literally at will.
I no longer suffer from what I earlier called my retardation.
I have all capabilities of my brainpower and then some.
I now have much better concentration, more clarity, and better memory ability than I ever did before.
How did I do it?
It was EASY and it happened completely by accident.
If you want the simple answer without reading TOO MUCH (I know reading can be hard), here is how I conquered debilitating brain fog….
I stopped eating carbohydrates and I started eating only REAL animal foods.
That’s it.
When I started following the carnivore diet my mental clarity came back with a VERY fiery passion.
Yes, I’m being dead serious.
When you’re stuck in the mysterious brain fog, you imagine all of these reasons why.
What you NEVER think about is the MOST obvious: diet.
I can assure you, the way to achieve perfect mental clarity is MUCH easier than you actually THINK that it is.
The answer only seems elusive when you’re too dumb to actually THINK (like I used to be).
I will now present the answer to you in a clear manner that literally ANYBODY can follow.
And if you do follow these steps, you will have increased brainpower by a significant margin.
I 100% promise.
I also promise that there is NOTHING that you have to buy, no snake-oil cure you need to purchase, no “special report” which you need to subscribe to.
All you have to do is this…
Stop eating sugar – forever!
Sugar is the #1 killer of clarity.
Sugar kills the brain the EXACT SAME way that it kills teeth.
Sugar = dumb brain
Sugar kills memory and the ability to actually truly REALLY learn.
Sugar slows down the brain and reduces its ability to learn, remember information, and most importantly… concentrate.
Sugar destroys neural connections in the brain.
What does that actually mean for you?
Stop. Eating. Sugar.
Forever.
Sugar is the killer of all clarity and creativity.
“So Elijah, just stop eating candy bars, colas, and fruit pies?”
Not quite.
Industrially produced “factory” sugar, like the kind you find in your cola drink and your sugary snack, is more harmful than naturally produced sugars.
But…
All carbohydrates are sugar.
That means even carrots, oatmeal, apples, and rice will help to kill your ability to actually THINK.
Did you ever notice that all 3rd world countries are carb eaters and all 1st world countries are meat-eaters?
There is a VERY specific reason for that.
Carbohydrates kill the brain power, and fatty acids from animal foods develop the brainpower.
The brain is 60% fat and it is saturated fat and cholesterol that are the brain’s building blocks.
Fatty acids found in fatty animal foods are the crucial molecules that determine your brain’s integrity and ability to perform.
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are required for maintenance of optimal health but they can not synthesized by the body and must be obtained from dietary sources. Clinical observation studies has related imbalance dietary intake of fatty acids to impaired brain performance and diseases.”
What does that mean for you?
Eat more bacon, eggs, beef, and fatty fish.
(Note: My fish of choice is mackerel. When I eat it, I seem to stay awake for hours with new ideas for the future.)
Completely cut out all carbohydrates from your diet.
When you do this you will experience the MOST wonderful feeling of clarity that you have ever known.
It’s so wonderful that it almost feels completely like bliss.
It will feel like a dream after living so long with confusion, irrational thinking, inability to concentrate, and total inability to do any mental work.
Total clarity doesn’t require drugs, therapy, or any other modern method.
It requires only that you eat the natural human diet.
See, it is not natural to be subsisting on carbohydrates.
The human can only survive on carbohydrates because of modern farming and modern factory production.
In our natural state, we eat and survive on animal foods.
When we return to our natural state, we regain control of our brains.
We regain the ability to think, dream, ponder, concentrate, and eventually visualize.
When we eat sugar, these abilities vanish into thin air. In the air they turn into brain fog.
*poof* there goes my brainpower with this seemingly harmless bowl of oatmeal.
As you know, the oatmeal is NOT as harmless as MOST people THINK that it actually is.
Oatmeal is totally unnatural, as are nearly all carbohydrate foods, and would be totally impossible for us to eat in our natural state.
To achieve total mental clarity, all we have to do is be who we are and eat the foods that are designed for us to eat.
If you remember NOTHING else about clarity, remember this…
Follow the all-meat diet and completely cut out carbohydrates from your diet and you will thrive, both mentally and physically.
Sugar is the killer of our minds and bodies and we all know this.
What we have to remember is that all carbohydrates are sugar.
The only foods that don’t contain sugar are the animal foods.
It is those same animal foods that contain the essential fatty acids that the brain needs to concentrate, contemplate, and consider.
After you go through carbohydrate withdrawal, you will experience total mental clarity.
After you cut out the sugars, you will want to follow these additional steps…
Get better sleep
Lack of sleep kills memory.
During sleep, the body removes toxic compounds from the brain.
If you don’t get enough sleep it has a terrible effect on the brain cells.
Some simple tips to get better sleep include:
- Sleep in a dark room
- Wear a sleep mask to make it extra dark
- Turn of ALL electronics before you go to sleep
- Try to go to sleep earlier rather than later (10 pm is good)
- Make your sleeping room cold or chilly
- Get good exercise during the day to help make you tired at night
- Stay away from computer/phone screens at night
- Download F.Lux and install it on your computer, always use it when you use your computer at night
- Turn your phone to greyscale or “night mode” every night
- Have a set time where you completely cut off all phone and computer usage (8:30 pm is good)
- Put a pillow between your knees if you sleep on your side
Eliminate stress
Stress destroys the brain.
Chronic stress leads to a decrease in memory, self-control, and the ability to learn.
It also leads to irritation, depression, anxiety, tension, and distraction.
Try to eliminate stress ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE that you can.
I eliminate stress by simply ALWAYS being detached from the outcome.
My attitude is this…
- It is what it is
- It takes as long as it takes
- It will be WHATEVER it will be
There is a great book regarding the destruction of stress.
It is called MONK MODE.
I recommend you read it.
Read more books and blogs
Reading trains the brain.
Reading activates areas of the brain that aren’t used at OTHER times.
While reading, blood enters the areas of the brain responsible for concentration and cognition.
This effect does NOT occur while watching videos or playing video games.
Books give your brain a workout, TV and games… give your brain a rest.
Just like you won’t build strong legs WITHOUT squats and hacks, you won’t build a strong brain WITHOUT reading.
3 BONUS TIPS
Cut out caffeine – It is a hindrance, not a help. Caffeine also kills your ability to get good sleep.
Never drink alcohol or smoke marijuana – These substances kill your memory, concentration, and vital brainpower. They also kill your REM sleep.
If your child has ADD/ADHD here is what you can do to cure it: Stop feeding them sugary foods like breakfast cereals, oatmeals, and sugar candy. Instead, start feeding them fatty foods like bacon, eggs, beef, and fish. Watch the ADD vanish. Poof.
Clarity Conclusion
It really is this simple: Give up ALL of the sugar.
This is how you achieve ultimate and unlimited mental clarity.
Eat the foods your brain needs and you will become a Superman of the mind.
I told you that it was simple.
Have a nice wonderful day.
Until next time.
