Diet and Mental Preparation

Lex Fridman asks Daniel Negreanu about his diet and mental preparation leading up to games. Daniel Negreanu explains that he is very regimented with his diet when he is not playing, counting calories and macros. He also explains that he has dabbled in meditation in the past, but found it to be mostly placebo. He also explains that he watches footage of his opponents and formulates a game plan to exploit their mistakes.
