Sorry, I haven’t shared everything I found about serotonin. I’ve been trying to apply it a little to get my energy levels back up, and level out a little. Here is the basic outline I’ve been doing the past two weeks.
Breakfast – Protein, Carbs, & Fruit
Snack – Carbs
Lunch – Protein & Vegetables
Snack – Carbs
Dinner – Carbs & Vegetables
Snack – Carbs
I only eat the snacks when I’m feeling hungry. First (if I think of it) I drink a tall glass of water to make sure it’s not just dehydration. When I snack I eat my complete snack. Even if I don’t feel hungry I’m still eating at least one snack between meals. Ideally I eat the snack an hour before my meal and at least three hours after eating any protein.
Lately I’ve been eating more like 4-5 snacks a day with two snacks between lunch and dinner. That’s when I hit my low and that’s when I crave the most.
