As the clocks change and the evenings draw in, a lot of us feel it, the slump. You know the one. Dark mornings, darker evenings, and somewhere around 3 pm, your brain decides it’s time to shut down for the day.But here’s the thing: it’s not just the weather or the lack of sunlight making you tired. What (and when) you eat has a huge impact on how you feel through autumn and winter.Let’s talk about the basics that will keep your energy steady, even when the days get shorter.

Let me be blunt.If you’ve ever felt selfish for wanting to train, eat better, or get your energy back… you’ve been lied to.

You might have been able to skip meals, smash out some cardio, and drop half a stone in a few weeks back in your 20s.But now? Same tactics… zero results. In fact, you probably just end up tired, irritable, and frustrated.Here’s why, and what actually works.

Let’s go full zen for a second.If your body feels like it’s giving up… it’s not.It’s speaking to you. You’ve just forgotten how to listen.

Not fun. But also… not inevitable.Here’s what’s going on, and how to fix it.

Food Isn’t “Good” or “Bad”If you’re looking to tone up, lose weight, or change your body composition, it really boils down to one thing: nutrition.But here’s the part most people miss… It’s not just about what you eat. It’s about how you feel about food and how food makes you feel.I was lucky. From a young age, it was drilled into me:Food is fuel.Not “good” or “bad.” Not “clean” or “dirty.” Just:Does this help me feel good?Does this help me perform better? Or…Does this drain me?That mindset is a massive shift from what most people grow up hearing.
