Potatoes Not Prozac: Natural Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity & Emotional Eating - Book by Kathleen DesMaisons Ph.D. (2008) | Manage Cravings, Improve Mood, Balance Blood Sugar for Healthy Lifestyle

Really exciting research on how brain chemicals get pushed out of balance by overuse of sugars. An alcoholic’s body chemistry is hypersensitive to sugars and it sabotages their recovery by priming them to crave the quick, intense sugar hit in alcohol.This research stated that 92% of “hopeless” alcoholics had stayed sober on a sugar sensitive diet.Three important points : eat three meals with protein, eliminate/reduce sugars, eat a baked potato before bed to raise insulin level in blood and move tryptophan to the brain.
