NUTRITION TIP: Munch on healthy carbs in the afternoon before the sun goes down to stave off a splurge. Winter can trigger cravings for comforting, sweet carbs because diminished sunlight during the season makes serotonin in the brain less active. Too little of this mood-lifting chemical leaves you feeling tired and hungry. Your brain is making you desire carbs because after you eat them, your serotonin level will rise. Carbohydrate cravers may consume an additional 800 calories or more a day because they satisfy their munchies with fatty carbs; indulge like that for five days straight and youll gain a pound.
