Tom was able to lose an impressive amount of weight through adopting a dopamine diet, which unites happiness and health.
BBC Good Food listed the following foods to consume when undertaking the dopamine diet: dairy foods such as milk, cheese and yogurt, unprocessed meats such as beef, chicken and turkey, omega-3 rich fish such as salmon and mackerel, eggs, fruit and vegetables, in particular bananas, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, and dark chocolate.
Dietitian Emer Delaney explained: “Currently, we do know that all eating increases dopamine, especially the intake of high fat and sugar foods, both of which can lead to an increase in appetite, overeating and weight gain in the long term.”
So how can dieters up their dopamine levels without upping their intake of unhealthy foods?
