Please help me solve this if you can – any suggestions are welcome!
Sorry this is a bit of a long post. I’ve bolded all the important stuff, so if you want you can skim it and see if you can come up with a solution at the end.

On Thursday and Friday I rewarded myself for having a diet with virtually no junk food 98% of the time. As a ‘compensation’ for holding out so long, I ate a LARGE amount of chocolate, and piled on the ‘evil’ refined sugars.
I had more mental energy in those 48 hours and felt better than I had done in weeks or even months!
What’s more, after 3 and a half hours of hard exercise, I felt like I could jump a horse – literally!
Bit of a paradox, huh? I thought chocolate and junk food was supposed to make you slow and drained of energy!
I still can’t forget all the other things they can do to you though, so I know I can’t use this as a solution for my energy dilemma. But yesterday, the first day back on the ‘super-clean’ diet, my brain energy was back in the pits .
There must be an alternative – what can I do to simulate the effect that the junk had on my energy levels?
Without actually eating them to an unhealthy degree?
What is it in them that made me alert and awake, and what else is there out there that I can eat or do for the same effect?
When I have energy, I am happy. On Thursday and Friday I was on Cloud Nine.

If you have anything to say that you thing might help me figure out the answer, please don’t hesitate to leave a post!
All the best,
Felix
