About:
● As a Poker player, you are expected to be fast, have amazing decision 
making skills and be able to pull an all-nighter
● What is essential is to consume a diet that contributes to your health 
and keeps you fresh throughout the game
● During the current situation due to the pandemic, sitting through a 10 
hour game irrespective of it being online or not, you are expected to 
be on your toes! 
● We, at Gutshot have come up with a few basic solutions that could 
help you get over your craving for that extra crunch and attain Zen! 
A NUTRITIONIST’S PERSPECTIVE:
● Cravings are essentially an irresistible urge to consume foodstuff that 
you are utmost interested in, but that instant urge could result in long 
term issues
● Intake of useless toxins may satiate your cravings for that moment, 
but in the longer run, it would not be beneficial
● For example, the belief that a shot of caffeine, energy boosters will 
keep you fresh for hours together is not entirely true
● The energy only lasts for a few hours and later makes you drowsy 
again. Energy drinks work in the same manner
● Aerated beverages contain excess amounts of sugar which could 
worsen your game too in the long run
● While social media is abuzz with influencers that provide alternatives to 
foodstuffs you have been consuming, you need to give it a thought
● A balanced diet for a poker player is a must
● Rahul Tarfe, Mumbai based professional bodybuilder and certified 
nutritionist says, “If high carbohydrates are consumed, it will make the 
player drowsy or sleepy, but if it is reduced all together, the energy 
levels will go for a toss and they will lose their focus
● The solution is to consume good fats and complex carbs
