In the short-term amphetamines and sugar are great to push yourself. And in the long-term, some people find they function better with some amphetamine in their system.

But, I can think of no /quicker/ route to some sort of intense crash and possible health issues than using a constant diet of sugar and speed to push oneself beyond their capacity day in and day out 24/7.

The median diet in the USA can accurately be described as "using a constant diet of sugar". It's nothing special.

The author of TFA simply didn't run out of glucose as he claimed. The symptoms from that are entirely different than what he described.
