• Men are more likely to become withdrawn when wrestling with anxiety or depression. They are less likely than women to talk about their emotions and to seek professional help.
• Women are more likely to seek professional help, such as psychological counseling. Men have a higher rate of suicide, partly because they internalize (rather than express) their feelings.
• Men are less likely than women to be aware of their relationship-dependency needs. | | Since then, further studies by McLeod and others have confirmed the effectiveness of chromium picolinate in depression that involves overeating. Take 400 meg daily or 200 meg twice daily with meals.
5-HTP. Technically known as 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-HTP is the immediate precursor to serotonin. The supplement increases serotonin levels, whereas antidepressant drugs try to maintain higher levels (which may be difficult if there is not much serotonin to work with). The 5-HTP molecule is built around tryptophan, an amino acid found in meats, fowl, and fish. | | Chromium
Principal use: To reverse depression, particularly when it involves overeating. It can lower and stabilize insulin and blood sugar levels, which may lessen mood swings.
What else you should know: Chromium has long been recognized for its essential role in regulating insulin and glucose in the body. Until just a few years ago, no one could have imagined that it could reverse feelings of depression, reduce appetite, and help in some eating disorders.
Malcolm McLeod M.D. | | Fatigue, tiredness, and mental fuzziness include regular feelings of tiredness and mental fatigue, difficulty concentrating (especially after eating), poor memory, feeling spacey, and overeating.
The Canary in the Mine... and in the Mind
Recognizing that you or someone close to you regularly has bad moods is a lot like paying attention to the "canary in the mine." Years ago, miners took canaries deep into mines because the birds were particularly sensitive to poison gas. If a canary died, it was a warning for the miners to immediately evacuate. | | University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, became curious when patients taking medications for depression and overeating suddenly felt better, ate less, and lost weight after they started taking supplements of chromium picolinate. Rather than dismiss his patients' testimonials, McLeod tested chromium picolinate supplements on other patients. Many were able to reduce or eliminate their prescription antidepression medications. Chromium may increase brain levels of tryptophan and serotonin.
Dosage: Take 400 to 1,000 meg daily. | | Although this research has focused on how cerebral insulin resistance promotes overeating, obesity, and diabetes, it is likely that it would also affect mood and behavior.
The time line for developing insulin resistance varies from person to person, but its prevalence has increased substantially in younger adults and now children, leading to the earlier development of obesity and diabetes. As people become more resistant to insulin, their blood sugar levels remain elevated and they will be more likely to develop fat around the belly. |

It also stifles the production of free radicals, curbs inflammation, and reduces the risk of most of the Western diseases.
"Eat less" is easier said than done, however, particularly in a culture of cheap and abundant calories with no deeply rooted set of rules to curb overeating. But other cultures do have such rules and we can try to emulate them. The French have their modest portions and taboo against seconds. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Social settings—Be aware that eating with family and friends can influence or inspire overeating if you're not careful and committed to your own goals. Eating with others tends also to extend the duration of meal and provide a more pleasurable eating environment versus eating alone.
Distraction—Television, eating while at the computer, doing multiple things at once with food being one of them are major triggers for overeating. Emotion—Many individuals overeat in response to emotions like stress, anxiety/nervousness, depression, and boredom. |

Individuals prone to chronic stress often respond by overeating or increasing alcohol consumption. Stress is often the trigger for binge-eating habits and causes and increases the desire to eat. Binge-eating disorders are characterized by frequently eating large amounts of food regardless of hunger, eating quickly, and feeling out of control while eating.
A long-term increase of Cortisol encourages the metabolic system to produce fat, especially increased abdominal fat. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Watch your portions: Because overeating can put stress on the digestive organs, infringe on normal detoxification pathways, and lead to obesity and disease, many of us would do well to address the issue of portion control.
?Eat s-l-o-w-l-y: This will help you to chew your food properly before sending it on to the stomach for further digestion. It will also help you to control your portions better and keep you from overeating. It takes time for your brain to receive signals that you are full. |

"We are concerned that the problem of too little sleep extends even to the youngest members of families, though we do not know if this puts them at risk for problems down the line," Acebo says.
Acebo acknowledges that the sleep needs of young children haven't been studied adequately, and that the 12- to 15-hour recommendation is based on what experts think is the best amount to foster normal growth and development. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Plus, lack of sleep is associated with mental decline and overeating (which leads to major aging conditions). Even worse, we don't care enough that we don't get enough sleep, even though it's one of the major things that make us feel old. Most of us think that a lack of sleep—be it for a night, or a week, or a lifetime—is no big deal. We go on our way, trudging through our daily lives and responsibilities tired, defeated, sluggish, caffeine infused, and longing to sledgehammer the alarm clock at 6:07 every morning.
Simply, few of us are losing sleep about losing sleep. |

Diet: It is advisable to have a consultation to establish why you have put on weight, and to develop a customized calorie-reduction program. Most convincing research indicates that focusing on the low glycemic index (how much 1 oz of food makes the blood sugar rise) promotes fat loss. | | Feeling queasy may be accompanied by craving something sweet, and is triggered by eating food that is too rich, drinking iced drinks, or overeating.
Nux vomica: Consider this remedy to treat nausea that results from overindulgence in food and alcohol. Signature symptoms include sour-tasting burps, and a sense that vomiting, if possible, would relieve nausea. The stomach is also likely to feel knotted, and food tends to lie heavily, refusing to digest. When this remedy is helpful there is also stubborn constipation. | | To treat hiccups due to an irregular diet: If hiccups occur after overeating or wolfing down food, or after eating too much cold or raw food, mix 18 g of Cao Mai Ya (baked wheat), 18 g of Cao Gu Ya (baked rice grain), 12 g of Shan Zha (hawthorn fruit), 8 g of Shen Qu (medicated leaven), and 3 g of Gan Cao (licorice). Drink 1 cup two to three times during the day for three to five days. |

It also can increase levels of circulating stress hormones in the blood, which places more demand on the heart and appears to contribute to heart disease and stroke. But these very real diseases seem abstract when compared to the scary-looking chickens we regularly see on TV.
Our own brains make us easy prey to such distortions. Elizabeth Phelps, PhD, a psychologist and neuroscientist at New York University in New York City, has examined how the brain responds to envisioned threats. |

This jolting sugar-mood reaction is also familiar to Devorah R. "If I have just a piece of cake or a brownie, my joy quotient takes a dramatic dip," confesses the script consultant and former movie-studio executive. | | Quit overeating processed carbs and sweets.

Today's modern food-distribution system and the availability of a wide range of fresh foods throughout the year mean dietary deprivation is no longer an issue in this country. Except for a few isolated cases of people who can't absorb their food, we haven't seen mass cases of vitamin deficiency in this country since the pilgrims washed ashore. |

Government recommendations are actually four times higher than what a person really needs. I will tell you later why you don't need extra vitamins and that if you stick with fresh fruit and vegetables and other whole foods, you will stay healthy. I will tell you why those making big money on vitamins and supplements are doing so at the expense of your pocketbook—and sometimes your life. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If toxins from wrong foods and overeating were allowed to remain in the blood stream or vital organs, we would die quite quickly.
Richard Weindruch suggests that a balanced, calorie-restricted diet should do wonders for the health and longevity of humans.3 His comments are based on studies which showed that by restricting their diets, the lifespans of fish, insects, and rodents increased by 40% and more. In a study with monkeys, several measures of health such as percentage of body fat, blood pressure, and glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels were improved by caloric restriction. | | Consuming dead foods that have no enzymes, wrong combinations of foods, toxic foods, stimulants, drugs, alcohol, overeating, and drinking with meals adds to the load the digestive system has to cope with. This produces stress, and depletes the body's energy and stored reserves.
Following are some practices that cause stress to our systems. Ignoring the Acid-Alkaline Balance
This subject is explored in detail in chapter 10, but a few comments are made here as an introduction.
Fundamental to digestion and health is acid-alkaline balance. In health, the cells of the body are slightly alkaline. | | This can be due to a lack of digestive enzymes, overeating and the consequent overloading of the digestive system, or a lack of friendly flora in the bowel. Chronic diarrhea can actually be a form of constipation, with the accumulation of old feces adhering to the walls of the colon in such quantities as to be actively irritating. Thick mucus then sticks to the intestinal wall and cannot be expelled. | | This can happen due to overeating, or eating overly toxic or spoiled food. When there is a toxic overload being eliminated from the body, the liver, which normally metabolizes waste products, may be forced to expel toxins directly into the intestines, where they cause irritation and nausea. When this happens, the last thing the body needs is more food. The body brings on nausea as an attempt to eliminate the toxins through vomiting and perhaps diarrhea, or at least, to signal that it wants us to fast, that is, abstain from eating until it has re-established digestive equilibrium. | | Factors that contribute to digestive disorders are: the lack of digestive enzymes; insufficient stomach acid; poor food combinations; overeating; drinking liquids with meals; consuming substances like soft drinks, coffee, and strong alcoholic drinks, which are irritating to the digestive linings; consuming drugs and antibiotics that are irritating to stomach and intestine linings and which destroy friendly intestinal bacteria; eating while under stress; and consuming foods and drinks that are too hot or too cold, indigestible, overcooked, fried, micro-waved, refined, and chemically treated. |

Interestingly, we can do a lot ourselves to aid our body's absorption and use of Source energy. It's as easy as breathing deeply. Most of us tend to be shallow breathers, not often fully expanding our lungs and diaphragm as we breathe. If you practice yoga or the martial arts, you know how important proper breathing is to overall physical strength and agility. |
