I am sure you have noticed that sweets have a calming, relaxing effect on you. They also make you drowsy and less alert. Have you also noticed that when you eat breakfast (which most overweight people do not eat) you feel drowsy and hungry by late morning? That's not because you ate breakfast but because of what you had for breakfast.
Let's suppose you had French toast or pancakes versus yogurt or cereal and milk. A carbohydrate breakfast of French toast or pancakes would raise your serotonin, causing you to feel tranquil but not very alert. If you had a business meeting at 10:30 A.M. you might have trouble staying awake and concentrating. A little more protein for breakfast might be better.
Too much protein and not enough carbohydrates would make it more likely that you will binge. High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets help to cause binge eating because they lead to lowered serotonin levels. Your body will crave carbohydrate foods on these diets in an attempt to increase serotonin.
