I had a sneaking suspiscion that those were the types of foods you over indulge in!
Okay...one more question...does over-eating these sugary junk foods CALM your nerves for a little while, i.e. relieve a little stress merely temporarily?
Here's my take on the situation. I could be way off base, but I don't really think so.
You're craving SEROTONIN and TRYPTOPHAN. You want/like/need that "feel good" buzz, semi-high, good spirited energy.
The junk food zaps it from you and also adds another stress,
not just to your health, but your energy. It's a quick high, and then a low.
A little protein combined with some non-junk pure sugar carbs gives you that sense of tryptophan and serotonin. Steady, calm, feel good happy energy.
The trick is adding a little protein, and choosing better carbs (i.e. avoid the processed sugar/salt laden junk). Add a little activity and a shot of sunlight and well...you're laughing.
Also, finding hobbies beyond eating the junk which you remove from your home is another good tip. Eliminate temptation from the premises...lose the instant gratification foods.
