The best advice i can give you is this: NEVER trust a keto fart.
Sorry, I guess that one went over my head. :)
It was some of the best advice i received when i started.
Basically...when youre sitting on the couch, and you think its gas, dont try and do a one cheek sneak. Go to the bathroom.
Ha ha, OK, I'll keep that in mind. It's strange though, since I started the diet, I can't remember passing much gas at all.

Youre lucky. I could have powered a small city.
The main thing is to get a good night's sleep and relax a little between games.
It's normal to stay tense and nervous throughout a game and to get mentally tired, so the relaxation is important. I hate it in OTB tournaments when my game runs long and the next round starts soon after so I don't have time to refresh myself mentally between games.
I haven't tried diets with chess, but a diet very high in carbs, 60% or more, lets running, cycling, football, etc. (and yes, I've played and coached those sports) athletes recover faster than other diets, though that's been proven only a 24 hour basis.

Hmm, yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for your input! I just need to sit at each game as if I have never heard of my opponent, and not worry about the game before hand.
No, that's the way I speak now. I've been trying to transition into old English of late as it sounds a lot cooler.
Cool! I wish you all the best!
The long division suggestion is neat too. I would suggest blindfold chess if you were to go that route though. I'm not sure that kind of thing improves concentration per se, but practicing visualizing the whole board and other aspects of chess which are the most draining mentally might make those aspects easier and thus reduce the work load on your brain.
I can definitely tell when I haven't played chess in a while, regardless of if I'm really well rested, since the work load on my brain is noticeably different. Also, certain games have much more going on than others and that is a big factor in this too.
All in all, there are a lot of factors into mental stamina but I would still just focus on sleep, diet and nutrition. If you want to improve strictly chess speaking, then just keeping yourself sharp and not letting yourself get rusty will go a ways too.

Yeah, that's a very good suggestion, blindfold chess. As well as the maths thing recommended by another person. Yes, that's where I spend most of my time is in calculation and visualization! So makes sense to work on that.
Practice, for sure, I'm doing that. 
Yes, the Big Three have been mentioned.
Thanks for the help!

I caught it immediately, I have a friend who does bodybuilding and he says those protein shakes are lethal.
