90 Day Healthy Habits Challenge, Day 29: Amino Acids and Mood

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you always end up doing the thing you know you shouldn't do? Your eating a doughnut thinking, "I shouldn't eat this but I think I might have to"...well, it may be true that your will power isn't very strong, but it might be even more likely that you are low in essential amino acids. Nicole talks about brain chemistry and how certain brain chemical depends on amino acids to help dictate your mood. For instance, the amino acid L-Tryptophan is a pre-cursor to serotonin, the chemical in your brain that assists with supporting a health self-esteem regardless of circumstances. Low L-Tryptophan= potentially low self-esteem, and therefore a greater tendency toward over eating, binge eating, or eating disorders. Before taking any advice from this post or Julia Ross's book, The Diet Cure, be sure to consult with your physician.
