Yes, our mood is affected by the food we eat. And, some foods can really help you feel better when your unemployed spirit is low.
Wikipedia defines comfort food to be a variety of familiar, simple foods that are usually home-cooked or eaten at informal restaurants.
Not to be confused with Survivor Mood Food, Survivor Comfort Food is the immediate gratification stuff -- the stuff that'll make you close your eyes, feel all warm inside and maybe even make you moan a bit. But, as you know, after devouring comfort food, the feeling doesn't last that long and probably won't be that good for your mood in the long run.
But, we're a society that thrives on instant gratification, so here goes! Take a look at our Survivor Comfort Food, or post one yourself!
A great opportunity to End Overeating
I have been turned on to Quinoa as a vegetable and as an alternative to potatoes and rice and makes a good base for a meal. It appears expensive but a little goes a long way. A pound costs about $3-5 depending on where you shop and I have found a pound does about 6-10 single serving meals. 1/2 cup of dry quinoa yields about 1 1/4 cup cooked.
Again be creative, don't be afraid to try something you like. While cooking throw in some zuccini for example, or cherry tomatos. Or both.
