Still maintaining my gluten and sugar free eating habit. Read today about how sugar and wheat increase the pleasure you feel by increasing dopamine levels in your brain, and how they can basically become lazy receptors--requiring more and more to reach that same satiated level. Also, how sugar substitutes trick the brain to expect something stimulating and when the brain doesn't get its reward, it just leaves you wanting more and more. Best for me to stay away from both from that perspective.
Considering taking L-tyrosine as a supplement to boost your dopamine levels naturally. Read that 500 to 1,000 mg is recommended when you wake up in the morning (on an empty stomach) and then again between lunch and dinner. Anyone reading this try it? Sometimes I find myself craving the response sugar used to give me and not the taste.
