OP sounds like a drug addict or someone who simply isn't getting enough calories! > A pizza and a soda, or a huge steak and garlic mashed potatoes will lift my mood quickly. When I eat processed/junk food, the temporary high is very soon replaced by feelings of low energy, moodiness, acid reflux, and general sluggishness. When I eat a veggie-dominant meal (raw garlic-tahini sauce over roasted broccoli/kale with a side of buckwheat noodles and hemp seed, for example) I feel vibrant and happy and productive for hours. Tip for OP: when eating veggie meals, make sure to add vegetable fats for more calories.
