DIET & MOOD

Come on, guys. I've been eating a kilo of chickpeas a day and I feel focking asum.

I don't read studies or research on the link between food and mood, but if you're at all in tune with yourself it's pretty easy to see that there is a clear link. Think about it - eating is putting foreign things inside of your system, where it must be broken down and incorporated into you. Whatever you put into your body must be processed chemically (I imagine), so I would think that food in a way is very much like medicine in that you are creating a physiological change by incorporating it.

It's pretty difficult for me to experience a sense of well being when I have loaded my body up with heaps of absolute bullshit, so this is an indicator that physiology is a huge factor in determining mood. When I'm in a bad mood, my thoughts turn sour and I become less receptive to the inherent joy of basically anything and everything. This seems to indicate that mood is a big factor in influencing the quality of thoughts.

I think the saying "You are what you eat" comes from the physiology -> mood -> thoughts chain of cause and effect.

Not an expert in the subject, but this is how I generally interpret my experience of what you're wondering.

Absolutely. Eating more veggies and fats changed everything for me. Especially fats, if you got additional calories that you could replace with fat, try it out, feel much more energetic, aggressive, happy and confident now.

It's gonna be over soon...

Felt very good and looked better after a refeed week.

Feels good to eat clean though. Will continue to clean bulk after this cut.
