Carbs? Really? Don't feel like carbs, meh!



Complex carbs, not the refined kind found in white flour products and processed goods, can provide energy and properties known to enhance our moods. "Eating carbohydrates, preferably 100% whole grains, with protein-rich foods may boost the amount of tryptophan in your brain," says Keri Gans, MS, RDN, CDN, a spokesperson for America's Better Sandwich, over email with Bustle. "Tryptophan is then converted into serotonin, also known as the 'feel-good' hormone," she adds.

    Carbs are what brought me to this weight which makes me really unhappy.
    Of course I was very happy while eating them.  
    Have a never tried recipe for bread that sounds wonderful with a crunchy outer layer.  That would make me very happy as well. However I am putting my happiness on the back burner for now. 
    Sigh!
