produce higher levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that tends to make
us crave sweet and salty food. when you are trying to deal with
uncomfortable emotions you will probably find your self using food as a

fruit and ten to twelve roasted almonds.This would give you a
good balance of calories,protien, healthy fats,and fibre to keep you
