I was reading on a body building site this morning and came across some commentary about chocolate raising seratonin levels in the brain. I remembered reading somewhere or other around here over the last week or so some comments about people craving chocolate when going abs, even though they didn't crave it when they were drinking. Maybe that is why?
I'm no expert on this subject - just curious about all the brain chemistry stuff. So this linked article is just something I found interesting - nothing I can say is absolutely scientifically accurate based on my personal PhD in Chocolatology or anything.
Chocolate on the Brain
I too have craved chocolate at times since quitting drinking. And it seems that if I give into that craving, I can easily get way out of control with the chocolate. The linked article mentioned Tryptophan which led me back to Amazon to by the Mood Cure for myself! Still thinking I have some amino acid issues.
Anyway...maybe someone who is more experienced in Chocolatology than me can comment.
