The brain works just fine without regular shots of sugar in people who believe their willpower is unlimited.  Psychologist Carol Dweck from Stanford University stated: “There's a dominant theory in psychology that willpower is limited, and whenever you exert yourself to do a hard task or to resist a temptation, you deplete this limited resource.”
