In the book "Your Fat Can Make You Thin" by Calvin Ezrin, he discusses how low-carbing is the Way to Go....he also discusses how lack of serotonin reserves in our brains leads us to eat carbs like crazy trying to replace what we don't have through carbs. The problem with that is that when we eat carbs we only get a small surge of serotonin that makes us feel good for a little while. His solution is to request your doctor for a small dose (25-50mg) per day of an older antidepressant medication called trazadone. Apparently this medication, builds reserves of serotonin in the brain relieving depression. He believes that this can also help alleviate carbohydrate cravings as well. I haven't tried it but it sounds like it could work.

All the best
