My problem is that I'll have periods of time where I will eat like there is no tomorrow. And I can't stop thinking about food. What am I gonna make for dinner? What can I snack on now? And usually it's carbs/sweets that I'm looking for. I'll try to go for something that isn't terrible health wise. But still.

My guess for me is that I'm just tired. I know that when I'm just dead on my feet I crave stuff that'll give me a quick boost. Usually something like cheese and crackers or PB&J sandwiches. I try to add in a bit of protein.

I can't really blame it all on AD's. I've always been the kind of person who lives to eat. Not eat to live. I love food. Especially starchy and sweets. But it just seems to be that it's all I want.

It just seems odd to me. Like I said, I read in a magazine about how when your body craves sugar it's like self-medicating. The sugar increases the absorption of tryptophan. And your body uses tryptophan to make serotonin. Which is the feel happy chemical. So....... You'd think that if your already on an AD your serotonin levels are already increased. So technically it should lessen the your bodies desire for carb rich foods. Well, IMO anyway. LOL Guess that's why I'M not the doctor!
