I should note that I am over 40 and overweight but am losing weight on a fairly regular basis. My goal is within another 2 years to drop down to a manageable weight and hopefully reduce my intake of metformin altogether. High-blood pressure runs in my family, so I think its unlikely if I lose a lot of weight, that my use of high-blood pressure control medications will abate.

I start every morning as follows: 1. 2 800mg Nootropils 2. 1.5 Wakalert Tablets 3. My diet pills from the doctor here in Thailand 4. 1 Herbessar for my high-blood pressure

Wash it down with a cup of coffee.

Then an hour or two later, I start drinking iced green tea with no sugar and eat a breakfast with carbs, then I take: 1. 1 Hyzaar pill for my high-blood pressure 2. 1 Prenolol for my highblood pressure 3. 1 Metformin of my diabetes

Then, I have a yoghurt.

I sometimes have a snack of whole wheat crackers and hummus

Then, I eat dinner that is 2/3 veggies and 1/3 meat

My sleeping and work schedule are as follows: 1. I wake up between 10am and Noon each day 2. I go to sleep between 2am and 4 am every day 3. My workday starts between 11am and Noon 4. I take a break from 4pm/ 5pm to 8pm/9pm each day 5. During my break, I hang out with my kid, watch TV, read books, write, do strategic thinking for my businesses/ jobs, eat dinner, and take a walk. 5. My second shift starts 8pm/9pm to Midnight/1am 6. Then I read, play games, watch tv, etc... until I go to sleep

Then before I sleep, I take the following: 1. 1 Metformin 2. My nighttime diet pills

I work 7 days a week between 6 and 10 hours a day, mostly around 7 hours.

Nootropics are just a small part, but I consider them a very important part. Since, I do lots of academic editing, I find the quality is much higher under the influence of nootropics then not. But, my use of nootropics integrates them into my lifestyle.
