GABA and Food Cravings

I had to stop by to say that I read an article on GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid with Vitamin B) and it was said to reduce stress, cravings...well those two things alone piqued my interest. I bought it and started taking it last week. As for the stress reduction, I do feel more calm at a time when my freelancing is crazy. And for the cravings...well I've started the Weigh Down Diet which has you wait to eat until your body tells you are hungry. It's a miracle! I haven't binged or snacked. Could the GABA be helping with this? Possibly. Just had to tell my readers out there, because it might help!

As for the Weigh Down Diet, it's an older book that deals with learning mindful eating. Only it offers a spiritual approach as it teaches you to:

• Rest in the Lord
• Be filled with the Spirit for the strength and help you need

Though I've only been following the diet since last Thursday, I already have to say I recommend this approach to anyone who is overweight. There is no measuring food, counting calories or even forbidden foods. I'll weigh in on Thursday and stop by to let you know about the results of week one.
