Balance Your Moods With Food

This should include about one-third of foods that are high in lean protein such as eggs, grains or low-fat yogurt and two-thirds of low-density complex carbohydrates such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Mid-morning snack:
Reach for some raw, very low-density complex carbo-hydrates such as carrots, celery or zucchini.
Lunch:
Eat a balanced lunch including lean protein such as chicken or fish with complex carbo-hydrates from veggies and leafy greens.
Mid-afternoon snack:
Choose fresh fruit as a low-density complex carbohydrate snack to increase the level of serotonin in the body and help curb that 3 o'clock sugar craving.
This should be high in complex carbohydrates and low in protein to provide enough serotonin to help calm hormones during the evening for a good night's sleep.
