In contrast to these dangerous attempts at reaching some higher plane of consciousness by starving your brain of fuel,
my own recipe for reaching enlightenment would be as follows:
1: eat a healthy diet, with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and little red meat.
2: stay physically fit.
3: get plenty of sleep, 8 hours a night is the average requirement.
4: engage every day in some stimulating intellectual exercise, like learning a new language, or learning to play a musical instrument.
5: maintain positive interpersonal relationships with a variety of friends and family.
Oh I almost forgot, 6: have a nice glass of red wine with dinner every night...
Sound advice for a healthy life, except of course for point 6. Good pale ales are far more conductive to enlightment than beer, and goes with a wider variety of food IMHO.
