A Personal Note to Your (Maybe Not Quite as Awesome) Future Self
Feeling energized, focused, and healthy doesn’t always come from eating more—it can come from eating differently.
My Journey to a Better Place
In this week’s episode of Fast Friday, Bradley Charbonneau shares a personal message to his future self. After 52 days of cutting out carbs, he’s not only lost weight but also found a surprising burst of energy. More than just a diet story, this journey is about clarity, creativity, and rediscovering a zest for life—simply by changing how and when we eat.
Can Eating Less Give You More Energy?
It might sound counterintuitive, but Bradley explains how skipping meals and focusing on nourishing smoothies has given him more energy, not less. His simple, nutrient-packed smoothies—like one made with spinach, protein powder, and mint—fuel him in a way that keeps him feeling light and focused. And yes, he still enjoys a little indulgence, like a spoonful of peanut butter from Trader Joe’s, because balance is key!
More Than Just Food
The benefits go beyond diet. With newfound energy, Bradley’s been creating more than ever. From recording weekly podcasts and videos to launching a tech series aimed at simplifying complex tools, his creative output has soared. His message? Sometimes simplifying your diet can simplify your life, unlocking energy and focus for what matters most.
Take a Moment to Reflect
This episode is about more than food—it’s about personal reflection and checking in with yourself, especially when things get tough. Bradley’s story shows how a simple change can lead to a big transformation. Whether you’re just curious or looking for a fresh start, his experience offers insight into how less can sometimes lead to more—more energy, more creativity, and more fulfillment.
