Carbohydrates are essential, further followed by protein
Keep up the good humor in the face of work pressures and stresses of ordinary day-to-day is not very easy thing. This difficulty may be associated with food, more particularly the lack of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, which controls the release of several hormones, including appetite, sleep and mood.
One way to stimulate the production of seretonima is to consume carbohydrates, preferably without being accompanied by proteins. This is because a study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) proved that they affect the production of this hormone specific.
The diet based on the production of serotonin is divided into three stages. The first lasts two weeks you need to do three snacks during the day and eat a dinner of carbohydrates.
In the second, which lasts six weeks, the snacks are reduced to two daily and diminish the protection of protein at lunch and dinner to increase. And the third, which lasts four weeks or until you reach the ideal weight, a daily snack with the same proportion of protein and carbohydrates at lunch and dinner.
In the first two stages the snack may contain up to 40g of carbohydrates, up to 3 g of fat, 5 grams protein and no more than 180 calories (popcorn, cereal bars, breakfast cereals, etc.). In the third phase to 25g of carbohydrates, fats up to 2g, 3g of protein, and 120 calories (cookies, ice cream, etc).
