CARBOHYDRATES
All carbs are NOT created equal!
Best - Whole grains and Complex Carbs
Whole grain break down over long periods of time keeping a constant flow of Serotonin in your body
To experience maximum effects of carbs on your mood, eat them ALONE
English muffin with jam is fine. No tuna fish or cheese on it!
Fruit & Fat don’t work!
Eating any of the following grains will help you feel more relaxed:
Breads, Pasta Rice, Barley Corn, Potatoes Kasha, or Oatmeal
About 30 grams is plenty ( 1 1-2 cereal)
Snack foods help you concentrate better and ward off tension in the middle of the day
Include: Popcorn or Pretzels Bake potato Rice cakes

Connection between Food & Mood Relationship has intrigued people for years About 3000 years ago in India, people described
how the body’s natural rhythms were affected by time of day, seasonal changes, and by diets
Morning was the time for clearest thinking Afternoon & evening were times of irritability and
fatigue Brain synthesizes NT’s from Amino Acids (Building
blocks of protein) Two important AA’s that play a part in the
food/mood response: Tryptophan - converted into Serotonin Tyrosine - converted into Dopamine and
Norepinephrine

Food Cravings
A Matter of texture, Aroma, and Taste Craving for FAT is mostly unconscious and has to do with
texture, flavor, and aroma Don’t underestimate the importance of aroma! Because fat carries many of the best aromas - we are drawn to
them! Sizzling steaks, roast turkey, chocolate The more turned on you are by smells the more likely you are to
struggle with food cravings! It is very likely that complex smells of food trigger jumps in
Serotonin and other brain chemicals (Endorphins) Also, anticipation of food releases insulin into the blood People eat more food when endorphins are high That’s the reason we can’t eat just ONE! Endorphins are released by fat and sugar

“will away” your cravings
