Given that you didn’t address the following, let me address it
Did you know that your willpower is powered by food? No wonder’s it’s so hard to diet! When we don’t eat, our willpower goes down the drain. The best cure is a meal rich in protein, which enables the most optimal willpower.
To be that raises a harmful untruth flag.
Roy Baumeister suggests that meals help with willpower through glucose. To me the claim that it’s protein that builds willpower looks unsubstantiated. It certainly not backed up by the Israeli judges.
Where does the harm come into play? I understand the nutritional consensus to be that most people eat meals with too much protein. Nutrition science is often wrong, but that means that one should be careful about giving people the advice of raising the protein content of their meals.
The nutritional consensus is also not about optimizing willpower. I would be somewhat skeptical of the claim that the willpower optimizing meal just luckily happens to be identical to the health optimizing meal.
My argument is about two issues: 1) There no reason to belief that protein increases willpower. 2) If you tell people a lie to make them improve their diet it’s at least defensible they end of healthier as a result. If your lie however makes them eat a less healthy diet you really screwed up.
Apart from that, I don’t believe that eating glucose directly to increase your willpower is a good idea or healthy.

I haven’t made that claim.
In the sense that you didn’t make it, neither did I say that you did.
