I do have a pretty healthy lifestyle, I go to the gym 4 days a week and I ride 18 kms a day. Also I do have a very good standard of food, most commonly poultry veges and red meat. So that is ruled out.

However I will take your advice on what you said above, I will make sure to look out on those finer details in my replays.

I'm not on the computer that much, probs about 1 hour doing HW and about 2 playing sc2. I have taken alot of breaks from Sc2, they don't seem to be helping

I have some groundbreaking, build-shattering, paradigm shifting, mind-blowing advice for you. Whenever vexed with a particularly difficult problem with no apparent solution remember Einsteins' famous quote:

"The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

We focus so much on health/diet, mindset, mental preparation etc etc, we don't put any effort into changing how we perceive the game. Think outside the box i.e. I realized at one point I really enjoyed opening pure bio against Terran and I hadn't done it for some time. Then it hit me how strong and mobile this is in early game and with some clever maneuvering you can frustrate siege tanks, dodge mines, and be all over the map at once and be very aggressive. So I basically shifted my perspective on the matchup and played a positional war rather than "have more shit then you" war. And it worked out really well.

Also as Terran playing pure bio feels like a "blank canvas" which you can add to e.g. comfortably add tanks or mines later or even air as the match progresses. Point is, play in your comfort zone, do fun stuff even if it's considered bad; do what feels right, the rest comes naturally. Me personally, this is my focus pre-masters. When I get to masters and I feel my one solid build is just not cutting it anymore, I'll really put energy into learning different openers and builds and develop my strategy portfolio.
